How to use "ScriptApp.newTrigger("newTimer")" as a timer to activate a function

Question

I'm trying to create a simple function where I can start a timer with a button. After the timer is done (1 minute in this example), I want to execute another function and stop the timer.

I want to use a button to start the timer in a simple sheet to show a message when the timer is over.

function buttonTimer1min() {

  ScriptApp.newTrigger("timer1Minute")
  .timeBased()
  .after(5000)
  .create();

}

function timer1Minute(){

}

What's the actual issue? To create the button or to show the pop-up message? — Jescanellas, Aug 05 '19 at 09:42
