Timezone issue with .createEvent()

I have issues with the event time zone in my script. I browsed through many topics like this, but my beginner's skills did not allow me to transcribe the solutions to my own case ...
Here's my script:
function book1() {
var form = FormApp.getActiveForm();
var responses = form.getResponses();
var len = responses.length;
var last = len - 1;
var items = responses[last].getItemResponses();
var email = responses[last].getRespondentEmail();
var equipment = items[1].getResponse();
var datestart = items[2].getResponse();
var dateend = items[3].getResponse();
var cal = CalendarApp.getCalendarsByName(equipment)[0];
Logger.log(datestart);
Logger.log(dateend);
var start = new Date(datestart);
var end = new Date(dateend);
Logger.log('start '+start);
Logger.log('end '+end);
var allEvents = CalendarApp.getCalendarsByName(equipment)[0].getEvents(start, end);
if (allEvents.length < 1) {
var event = cal.createEvent(equipment, start, end)
.addGuest(email);
MailApp.sendEmail({
to: email,
subject: "Equipment " +equipment+ " booking confirmed",
htmlBody: "Equipment " +equipment+ " available, please return it by " +dateend+ " and scan the QR code when returning it.",
});
}
else {
var blob = HtmlService.createHtmlOutputFromFile("calendariframe").getBlob();
MailApp.sendEmail({
to: email,
subject: "Equipment " +equipment+ " not available",
htmlBody: blob.getDataAsString(),
});};
}
I can't find the right way to use getTimezoneOffset() or Utilities.formatDate in the right way. Would you have any advice on where to integrate them in my script so that the createEvent() works in GMT+1?
Thank you very much in advance for your help!

Solution found thanks to Cooper!
I went to the scripts project settings, checked the "Show "appsscript.json" manifest file in editor" box, went to the appsscript.json script and changed the timezone ID.

Line chart generated image that will be sent through email

I want to create a line chart similar below:
I just wonder if there are available framework or API available in ASP.NET MVC that generates chart images since my goal is to send this via email. I'm thinking if I can just put something like <img src="http://imageapi.com?date1=20170101&date=20170130" /> then api will be handling the chart image generation.
On searching, I found a lot of chart framework using javascript but I doubt it will properly work on different email clients.
Thanks a lot!

Google Image Charts will do that. Pass data and display settings via the URL, and it will return an image.
eg.
<img src="https://chart.googleapis.com/chart?cht=lc&chd=t:30,10,45,38,25|10,20,10,20,10&chls=2.0,0.0,0.0&chs=200x125&chg=0,20,3,3,10,20&chxt=x,y&chxl=0:|Week1|Week2|Week3|Week4|Week5|1:|0|20|40|60|80|100&chs=800x300&chm=o,ff9900,0,-1,10.0|d,ff0000,1,-1,10.0&chco=FFC6A5,DEBDDE&chdl=Click|GRU" />
produces this chart:
They provide a playground for testing: https://developers.google.com/chart/image/docs/chart_playground
Note however that Google are not maintaining it further, but have no plans to remove this functionality:
While the dynamic and interactive Google Charts are actively maintained, we officially deprecated the static Google Image Charts way back in 2012. This gives us the right to turn it off without notice, although we have no plans to do so.

What is your design ?
Your chart must be generated in web page,then it must be having html generated.
If no html is generated and only image is generated then this is best.
now you can send same content in.
If image is not generated then again you have 2 option here
i) Send complete html in email body along with concern js/css
ii) you can convert those html into image using(say c#) then send mail.
Please mention your complete scenario.

There are different types of chart API available in market, both open source and licensed, you can use any one to generate your chart/diagram in page and you can send that page as an email attachment using following code.
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult SendWebPageAsAttachment()
{
var subject = Request.Form["subject"]; // You can provide subject from page or code
var mailContent = Request.Form["bodyInnerHTML"]; // get the body inner HTML by form name
var Body = "<div style='background-color:white;'>" + Request.Form["mailContent"] + "</div>"; // Email Body
var attachmentName = DateTime.Now.ToString("yyyy/MM/dd").Replace("/", "-") + "_" +
DateTime.Now.ToLongTimeString().Replace(" ", "_") + ".html"; // Attachment Name
var baseUrl = HttpContext.Request.Url.Scheme + "://" + HttpContext.Request.Url.Authority +
HttpContext.Request.ApplicationPath.TrimEnd('/') + '/'; // Base URL
string src = #"src=""";
mailContent = mailContent.Replace(src, src + baseUrl.Remove(baseUrl.Length - 1));
mailContent = "<html><head><link href='" + baseUrl + "Themes/styles.css' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css' /><link href='" +
baseUrl + "Themes/style.css' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css' /></head><body>" + WebUtility.HtmlDecode(mailContent) +
"</body></html>";
try
{
SmtpClient smtpClient = new SmtpClient("mail.MyWebsiteDomainName.com", 25);
smtpClient.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential("info#MyWebsiteDomainName.com", "myIDPassword");
smtpClient.UseDefaultCredentials = true;
smtpClient.DeliveryMethod = SmtpDeliveryMethod.Network;
smtpClient.EnableSsl = true;
MailMessage mail = new MailMessage();
//Setting From , To and CC
mail.From = new MailAddress("info#MyWebsiteDomainName", "MyWeb Site");
mail.To.Add(new MailAddress("info#MyWebsiteDomainName"));
mail.CC.Add(new MailAddress("MyEmailID#gmail.com"));
mail.IsBodyHtml = true;
mail.Subject = subject;
mail.Body = Body;
var mailDataBytes = ASCIIEncoding.Default.GetBytes(mailContent);
var mailStream = new MemoryStream(mailDataBytes);
mail.Attachments.Add(new Attachment(mailStream, attachmentName));
smtpClient.Send(mail);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
//catch
}
ViewBag.IsHttpPost = true;
return View("SendWebPageAsAttachment");
}

Google forms auto-email not showing up

My company has a google form that we use to submit requests for data pulls. I created a script that auto emails form responses to myself, as well as a copy to the submitter. The script is:
function Initialize() {
var triggers = ScriptApp.getScriptTriggers();
for(var i in triggers) {
ScriptApp.deleteTrigger(triggers[i]);
}
ScriptApp.newTrigger("SendGoogleForm")
.forSpreadsheet(SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet())
.onFormSubmit()
.create();
}
function SendGoogleForm(e)
{
try
{
// You may replace this with another email address
var email = "My Email Goes here"
var Owner = e.namedValues["Owner:"].toString();
cc = email + "," + Owner
Adv = e.namedValues["Advertiser Name:"].toString();
IO = e.namedValues["IO Name:"].toString();
Tog = "Pixel Request " + Adv + " " + IO;
// Optional but change the following variable
// to have a custom subject for Google Form email notifications
var subject = Tog;
var s = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
var columns = s.getRange(1,1,1,s.getLastColumn()).getValues()[0];
var message = "";
// Only include form fields that are not blank
for ( var keys in columns ) {
var key = columns[keys];
if ( e.namedValues[key] && (e.namedValues[key] != "") ) {
message += key + ' :: '+ e.namedValues[key] + "\n\n";
}
}
// This is the MailApp service of Google Apps Script
// that sends the email. You can also use GmailApp for HTML Mail.
MailApp.sendEmail(cc, subject, message);
} catch (e) {
Logger.log(e.toString());
}
}
The script sends the emails without a problem. However, while the email sent to myself shows up in my sent mail, no copy is delivered to my inbox and it is marked as read; this is a problem because then I do not know that requests have been submitted which was the point of this creation. This seems anomalous as normally emails to yourself will typically show up in the inbox as unread. Does anyone know a way I might be able to fix this?

This is not an issue with the Google Script. This is probably how Gmail handles email where the sender and recipient is you.

Facebook and Unity3D JS injection difficulties

I'd like to display some HTML elements under my game on Facebook. Specifically, an image with a link to a website, but that's not the point of the question.
I understand what is required, and have successfully used the Application.ExternalEval() method, and the sample JS string provided by Facebook, to add some HTML text on top of the game itself.
I am following the information found on this page.
I have attempted the following permutations:
"var insertionPoint = body.children[0]; " + "body.insertBefore(headerElement, insertionPoint);";
"var insertionPoint = body.children[0]; " + "body.insertBefore(headerElement, insertionPoint.nextSibling);";
"var insertionPoint = body.children[1]; " + "body.insertBefore(headerElement, insertionPoint);";
After a couple of hours of frustrating trial and error, I have been unable to produce working JS injection code to display HTML immediately below the game itself on the canvas. Can someone help?

I've been trying to do the same frustrating thing for a minute, here's what I've arrived at, had to use different techniques for different browsers.
string injection = "if(navigator.userAgent.indexOf(\"Firefox\") >= 0){;" +
"var headerElement = document.createElement('div');" +
"headerElement.innerHTML = '<img src=\"URLTOSOURCE" style=\"width: 100%; text-align: center\" />';" +
"var body = document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0];" +
"var insertionPoint = body.lastChild;" +
"body.insertBefore(headerElement, insertionPoint);" +
"}else{;" +
"var headerElement = document.createElement('div');" +
"headerElement.innerHTML = '<img src=\"URLTOSOURCE" />';" +
"var body = document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0];" +
"var insertionPoint = body.children[0]; " +
"var unityPlayer = document.getElementById('unityPlayerEmbed');" +
"unityPlayer.parentNode.insertBefore(headerElement, unityPlayer.nextSibling);" +
"var embedTag = unityPlayer.getElementsByTagName('embed');" +
"embedTag[0].setAttribute('style','display:block;width:1200px;height:600px');" +
"};";
Application.ExternalEval(injection);

This should do the trick!
"var insertionPoint = body.lastChild;"

Google Apps Script: Workflow approval Selecting approval broken

I'm working to expand on the workflow script posted here...
James Ferreira Workflow video.
I've expanded the script and all is working fine regarding email, but I'm running into an issue with the doGet() function not working corretly.
Here is the code from the video: (mycode for the sendEmail is different and works fine, as it uses and document template.
function sendEmail(e) {
var email = e.values[1];
var Item = e.values[2];
var cost = e.values[3];
var url = '<ENTER YOUR PUBLISHED URL>';
var approve = url + '&approval=true'+'&reply='+email;
var reject = url + '&approval=false'+'&reply='+email;
var html = "<body>"+
"<h2>Please review</h2><br />"+
Item +": " + cost+ "<br />"+
"Approve<br />"+
"Reject<br />"+
"</body>";
MailApp.sendEmail("jjones#beaconcloudsolutions.com", "Approval Request",
"What no html?", {htmlBody: html});
}
function doGet(e){
var answer = (e.parameter.approval == 'true') ? 'Buy it!' : 'Not this time, Keep saving';
MailApp.sendEmail(e.parameter.reply, "Purchase Request",
"Your manager said: "+ answer);
var app = UiApp.createApplication();
app.add(app.createHTML('<h2>An email was sent to '+ e.parameter.reply + ' saying: '+ answer + '</h2>'))
return app
}
So when the script runs, i get the email that shows the links for approval / rejected, but when I select the link for approval or / rejected i get
"Sorry, the page (or document) you have requested does not exist." " Please check the address and try again."
This link should be redirect to the published webapp, noted in the var URL and append either the var approve or reject to it and then just display a basic HTML page.
Any suggestions on what is wrong? the script is authorized..

What does the address bar say when you click on the link from the email? Perhaps something is malformed or not properly encoded.
My gut feeling right now is that there is a missing '?' before you append any params.
Perhaps try this -
//note the ? instead of &
var approve = url + '?approval=true'+'&reply='+email;
var reject = url + '?approval=false'+'&reply='+email;
