How to find emails you've sent that haven't received a reply (in Gmail)
This is an adaptation of the script created by Jonathan Kim, with simple instructions to find emails you've sent via Gmail, which haven't yet received a reply. The script will apply a label of "No response" to all emails that haven't received a reply.
1) Visit this link: Google Script - Emails without a response
2) Click "File" -> "Make a copy..."
![]()
3) Adjust "minDays = 5, maxDays = 14;" to your liking. This is the time in which emails you've sent will be checked.
![]()
i.e. by default the script checks emails sent more than 5 days, but less than 14 days ago
Note: the more days you set the script to check, the longer it will take to run
