Explains Google Apps Script's simple vs installable triggers, their event object shapes, authorization differences, and how to register/manage installable triggers programmatically without duplicating them. Use when adding onOpen/onEdit/onChange/onFormSubmit/time-driven behavior, or when a trigger isn't firing, is duplicated, or fails with an authorization error. Framework-agnostic — applies with or without bootgs. Not for quota-safe service usage or locking (`apps-script-services`), nor for…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Apps Script Triggers

## Simple vs installable

| | Simple (`onOpen`, `onEdit`, `onInstall`, `onSelectionChange`) | Installable (`ScriptApp.newTrigger(...)`) |
|---|---|---|
| Registration | Automatic — GAS calls the global function by name | Explicit — created programmatically or via the Triggers UI |
| Runs as | The user currently viewing the file, with **their** authorization | The user who created the trigger, with **that user's** authorization, regardless of who triggers it |
| Can call authorized services | No — no `UrlFetchApp`, no most advanced services, no services needing OAuth consent | Yes — full access to whatever the installing user has authorized |
| Typical use | UI-only reactions (build a menu, format a cell) | Anything that calls an external API, sends email, or must run reliably regardless of viewer permissions |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add bootgs/skills/apps-script-triggers@sha256:6f4120c1148cf3c5

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
