How to solve the "ReferenceError: service is not defined"?
> Temporary notice: this is part of an ongoing project of transferring and splitting [my canonical](https://stackoverflow.com/q/62336082/11407695) from Stack Overflow on common errors in Google Apps Script. As soon as the Q&As are finalized, it will be removed. Attempting to call a method of an [advanced service](https://developers.google.com/apps-script/guides/services/advanced) can sometimes result in a [ReferenceError](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/ReferenceError) that the service is not defined despite Google's documentation specifying it as a global object. The exact error message is always structured as follows: > ReferenceError: \<service name\> is not defined What is the underlying reason for the error and how to solve it?
