Hey @mike-hogan,

i was going through this myself yesterday. The HTML example from the apps-script-tutorial is outdated and being checked in googles own Email Markup Tester can lead you to the answer to this problem: Image

So with that information the corrected version of the mail_template.html from the Apps Script Quickstart Tutorial looks like:

<html>
  <head>
    <script type="application/ld+json">
    {
      "@context": "https://schema.org",
      "@type": "EmailMessage",
      "description": "Check this out",
      "potentialAction": {
        "@type": "ViewAction",
        "name": "SHOW ME A BUTTON 🙏",
        "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eH8KwfdkSqU"
      }
    }
    </script>
  </head>
  <body>
    <p>
      This a test for a Go-To action in Gmail.
    </p>
  </body>
</html>

PS: Now also realizing i have been here before :D. Anyhow this time i solved it ;)
