Tired of deleting/unsubscribing emails manually 🧐? If so, I feel the pain 😅

So this is a routine that I was following for a while – Spend my 1 hour daily on cleaning up unwanted emails and unsubscribing and deleting 100’s of untouched/unread/unwanted/spam (whatever you wanna say) emails for a while.

So I tried myself :

1. Mark with all the emails that you want to unsubscribe with the label “Unsubscribe”

2. Then run the Google script in the Google doc.

The script runs automatically and logs the emails that were unsubscribed and which couldn’t due to broken links. Works like a charm, it automatically runs in background every 5 mins.
