A UI object can only have one of setOpenLink(openLink), setOnClickAction(action), setOnClickOpenLinkAction(action), setAuthorizationAction(action), or setComposeAction(action, composedEmailType) set.

// ...

const action = CardService.newAuthorizationAction().setAuthorizationUrl('url');
CardService.newTextButton().setText('Authorize').setAuthorizationAction(action);

Parameters

The Action parameter must specify a callback function that returns a ComposeActionResponse object configured using ComposeActionResponseBuilder.setGmailDraft(draft).
