Quick fixes for common issues.
Refresh the page (Ctrl+R / Cmd+R). The menu appears when the sheet loads. If it still doesn't show, open Extensions → Apps Script and make sure the code is saved. Then close and re-open the sheet.
Google shows a scary warning for custom scripts. Click "Advanced" (bottom left) → "Go to 1hSaved (unsafe)" → "Allow". This is standard for any Apps Script. The code only runs in YOUR account.
Check: (1) Did you paste your Gemini API key in the Settings tab? (2) Does your Gmail Search Query match any emails? Try changing it to newer_than:7d to scan the last week. (3) Wait 1-2 minutes for the trigger to fire.
Common causes: (1) Invalid API key — go to aistudio.google.com/apikey and generate a new one. (2) Rate limited — reduce "Emails Per Scan" to 5. (3) Model not available — try changing the model to gemini-2.0-flash in Settings.
Increase the Strictness (try 8 or 9) and/or raise the Notification Threshold (try 8). You can also narrow your Gmail Search Query to scan fewer emails.
Check: (1) Your "Notify Email" setting is correct. (2) Check spam folder. (3) Your Notification Threshold isn't set too high (try 5). (4) Look at the Logs tab — are emails being scanned? If all show "Ignore", lower Strictness.
Click ⏱️ 1hSaved → ⏹️ Stop Scanner in your sheet. This removes the automatic trigger. You can always restart by clicking Install again.
1hSaved runs 100% in YOUR Google account. The code runs on Google's Apps Script servers under your account. Your emails are sent to Google's Gemini AI (also Google). No data ever touches our servers. We literally can't see your emails even if we wanted to.
No. Gemini's free tier gives you 15 requests per minute. 1hSaved scans ~10 emails per minute by default. Google Apps Script is free. Google Sheets is free. There are no hidden costs.
Open Extensions → Apps Script, select all code (Ctrl+A), delete it, paste the new version, and save. Your Settings and Logs will be preserved (they're in separate tabs).
