When creating triggers through the ScriptApp class in Google Apps Script, the parameter for the function which the trigger calls is simply a string, for example:

ScriptApp.newTrigger('renewAuthorization')
  .timeBased().everyMinutes(30)
  .create();

RenewAuthorization function is defined as the following:

function renewAuthorization(key) {
  var refreshToken = PropertiesService.getScriptProperties()
      .getProperty(key + "_RefreshToken");
}

The project I am working on necessitates triggering this function with the key value defined- and therefore I cannot indicate that a function should be triggered with a certain set of parameters every 30 minutes, for example, by the string parameter passed to the function.

I am aware of the fact that I can create wrapper functions to call the original function with the key defined. I could do this:

function callRenewAuthorizationForClient1(){
  RenewAuthorization("Client1")
}

and then run the function which creates the trigger in this way:

ScriptApp.newTrigger('callRenewAuthorizationForClient1')
  .timeBased().everyMinutes(30)
  .create();

But for all practical reasons, this isn't an option, as a wrapper function would have to be created every single time a new key is created.

Is there a way, then, to create triggers for calling functions with a certain set of parameters through the code without having to create wrapper functions?

or, if this is impossible,

Is there a way to create these wrapper functions, or maybe some function alias which represents them, without having to go into the code manually?

You'll have to use another script property, saved as "key" and get its value first.
