Description[]
This script will remove all Habitica emails from your Gmail box received within a specified timeframe (default below is 14 days). For this to work, ensure the Gmail account you are running the script from is the email linked to your Habitica Account.
At the daily time, the script will review all your emails, and remove them as specified from Habitica.

var removalDate = Utilities.formatDate(removalDate_Raw, 'GMT', 'yyyy/MM/dd')
for (var i = 0; i < removeSubject.length; i++) {
var criteria = 'subject:' + removeSubject[i] + ' from:messengers@habitica.com before:' + removalDate;
if (onlyInbox) criteria += ' in:Inbox'
var conversations = GmailApp.search(criteria);
for (var idx = 0; idx < conversations.length; idx = idx + 1) {
var thread = conversations[idx];
thread.moveToTrash()
}
}
