Security

This script requires the use of sensitive information, such as your Gmail password or app password, and your email addresses. To keep this information secure, we recommend that you store them as GitHub secrets. This ensures that the secrets are encrypted and not publicly visible in your code or repository.

To set up secrets in your repository, go to your repository's Settings > Secrets and add the required secrets. Then reference them in your workflow file using ${{ secrets.SECRET_NAME }} syntax.
