Gmail Auto Delete

This is a Google Apps Script that automatically moves emails to Trash based on retention policy labels.

Usage

Copy and paste Code.js into the editor of the Apps Script project.

Register a trigger to run the main function once a day.

In Gmail, labels can be applied to incoming or existing emails using builtin filters. The label name should be formatted like prune-1d, prune-1m or prune-1y.
