function importEmails() { var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet(); var sheet = ss.getSheetByName('Support Group Sign-Up Form (Responses)');

The provided code snippet is part of a larger Google Apps Script function (importEmails()) designed to interact with a Google Spreadsheet. Here is what this portion of the code does:

  1. Retrieve the active spreadsheet:

    var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
    

    This line uses the Google Apps Script SpreadsheetApp service to get the currently active spreadsheet (the one from which the script is being run). It assigns this active spreadsheet to the variable ss.

  2. Get a specific sheet by name:

    var sheet = ss.getSheetByName('Support Group Sign-Up Form (Responses)');
    

    This line accesses a specific sheet (or tab) within the active spreadsheet by its name, "Support Group Sign-Up Form (Responses)". It searches for this sheet within the spreadsheet and assigns it to the variable sheet. If the sheet with the exact name doesn't exist, sheet will be null.

Summary:

This code is the beginning of a function (importEmails) that works with a specific Google Spreadsheet. It retrieves the active spreadsheet and looks for a sheet/tab named "Support Group Sign-Up Form (Responses)". This is likely preparation for further operations, such as accessing data from the sheet or importing email addresses from it.
