This question comes from a previous one almost solved: Save a Google Form as PDF on a Drive's folder using Google Scripts
Perhaps this is a technical question and I am not programmer, so if possible I want a step-by-step answer so I can fully understand it.
The steps and purpose of the code are explained here: Hacking it: Generate PDFs from Google Forms.
The code is posted on the link but I post it here anyways:
function onSubmit(e) {
const rg = e.range;
const sh = rg.getSheet();
//Get all the form submitted data
//Note: This data is dependent on the headers. If headers, are changed update these as well.
const cName = e.namedValues['Client Name'][0];
const cEmail = e.namedValues['Client Email'][0];
const cAddress = e.namedValues['Client Address'][0];
const cMobile = e.namedValues['Client Mobile'][0];
const sendCopy = e.namedValues['Send client a copy?'][0];
const paymentType = e.namedValues['What is your agreed upon payment schedule?'][0];
const fixedCost = e.namedValues['What was your agreed upon cost for the project?'][0];
const hourlyRate = e.namedValues['Hourly Rate'][0];
const manHours = e.namedValues['Total man hours'][0];
const services = e.namedValues['Select the services'][0];
//Consequential Data
const tax = 18.5
var subtotal = 0;
var taxAmt = 0;
var payableAmt = 0;
//if the user has selected hourly payment model
//Note: Be careful that the responses match the elements on the actual form
switch (paymentType ){
case 'Hourly Rate':
subtotal = hourlyRate*manHours;
taxAmt = subtotal * (tax/100);
payableAmt = +subtotal + +taxAmt;
break;
case 'Fixed Cost':
subtotal = fixedCost;
taxAmt = fixedCost * (tax/100)
payableAmt = +fixedCost + +taxAmt;
break;
}
const invoiceID = 'IN' + Math.random().toString().substr(2, 9);
var formattedDate = Utilities.formatDate(new Date(), "IST", "dd-MMM-yyyy");
//Set the consequential data in the columns of the spreadsheet for record keeping
//Note: These variable are dependent on the sheet's columns so if that changes, please update.
const row = rg.getRow();
const payableAmtCol = 2; //B
const invoiceIDCol = 3; //C
sh.getRange(row,payableAmtCol).setValue(payableAmt);
sh.getRange(row,invoiceIDCol).setValue(invoiceID);
//Build a new invoice from the file
//Folder and file IDs
const invoiceFolderID = '<invoice-folder-id>';
const invoiceFolder = DriveApp.getFolderById(invoiceFolderID);
const templateFileID = '<template-id>';
const newFilename = 'Invoice_' + invoiceID;
//Make a copy of the template file
const newInvoiceFileID = DriveApp.getFileById(templateFileID).makeCopy(newFilename, invoiceFolder).getId();;
//Get the invoice body into a variable
var document = DocumentApp.openById(newInvoiceFileID);
var body = document.getBody();
//Replace all the {{ }} text in the invoice body
body.replaceText('{{Invoice num}}', invoiceID);
body.replaceText('{{Date}}', formattedDate);
body.replaceText('{{Client Name}}', cName);
body.replaceText('{{Client Address}}', cAddress);
body.replaceText('{{Client Mobile}}', cMobile);
body.replaceText('{{Client Email}}', cEmail);
body.replaceText('{{Services}}', services.split(', ').join('\n'));
body.replaceText('{{Subtotal}}', subtotal);
body.replaceText('{{Tax Value}}', taxAmt);
body.replaceText('{{Total}}', payableAmt);
//In the case of hourly rate payment type, let's add an additional message giving the rate and the man hours.
if(paymentType.includes('Hourly Rate')){
//It should look something like this on the invoice
//Hourly Rate
//Rate of Rs.1200/hour
//Completed 50 man hours
const message = paymentType + '\nRate of Rs.' + hourlyRate + '/hour\nCompleted ' + manHours + ' man hours';
body.replaceText('{{Payment Type}}', message);
} else {
body.replaceText('{{Payment Type}}', paymentType);
}
document.saveAndClose();
/* This is not useful for me
//If you have selected to directly send it via email
if(sendCopy.includes('Yes')){
//send email with the file
var attachment = DriveApp.getFileById(newInvoiceFileID);
GmailApp.sendEmail(cEmail, '<subject>,
'<body>',
{attachments: [attachment.getAs(MimeType.PDF)],
from:'<your-email>@gmail.com'});
}

In the post, the author shows a way to send an Email to the client, which is what I want for my project.
However, that portion of code is obsolete or the author has completed a verification process before she publishes her app because I have to request an OAuth API verification because of the sendEmail command. As I researched, it takes time and tools that I am completely unaware of (I'm not programmer).
Thus, I ask if there is an easy way (without add-ons and avoid requesting a verification process) to send a copy of the generated document to the client when he press on "Send" button of Google Form based on the code I posted.
The code works fine, it creates a copy of the document based on a template to a folder of my Drive, but I want to automate the sending of emails so that customers get a copy of the document that I have. I don't want to send any other information like spam etc.
EDIT This is the content I have inside appsscript.json:
{
"timeZone": "America/New_York",
"dependencies": {
},
"exceptionLogging": "STACKDRIVER",
"runtimeVersion": "V8"
}
