How to email a row in google sheets - google-sheets

Question

First post. I have just started to learn to code (2 days in) but this is way over my head for now.
I want to be able to email the contents of a row (all cells in that row) by right clicking the grey cell that highlights the entire row and then choosing an option in the drop down menu that either allows me to enter an email address or sends to a specific address that is entered into the code (I will always be sending to the same address).
In fact, choosing the option in the drop down menu isn't a necessity, just how I envisage it but any solution that allows me to bypass copying the row and pasting it into an email would work.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers

Ok, so I know this is probably terrible coding but as I said, until a couple of days ago I had never even read a code, let alone tried to write anything. So please be nice!
So with some serious googling, copy/pasting, editing for my needs etc and using the very little I know, here is what I have come up with:
function onEdit(event){
//transfer a row once specific value entered into a cell within that row (without deleting original row)
// assumes source data in sheet named Needed
// target sheet of move to named Acquired
// test column with yes/no is col 4 or D
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var s = event.source.getActiveSheet();
var r = event.source.getActiveRange();
if(s.getName() == "Sheet1" && r.getColumn() == 5 && r.getValue() == "Email JM") {
var row = r.getRow();
var numColumns = s.getLastColumn();
var targetSheet = ss.getSheetByName("Sheet2");
var target = targetSheet.getRange(targetSheet.getLastRow() + 1, 1);
s.getRange(row, 1, 1, numColumns).copyTo(target);
}
};
function onEditEmail(){
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheetByName('Sheet2');
var startRow = 1; // First row of data to process
var numRows = 1; // Number of rows to process
// Fetch the range of cells
var dataRange = sheet.getRange(startRow, 1, numRows, 5)
// Fetch values for each row in the Range.
var data = dataRange.getValues();
for (var i = 0; i < data.length; ++i) {
var row = data[i];
var message = row[0] + ", " + row[1] + ", " + row[2] + ", " + row[3]; //whole row
var subject = "New Order";
if (row[0] != ""){
MailApp.sendEmail("example#email.com", subject, message);
//delete row straight after it is sent
sheet.deleteRows(1, 1);
}
}
}
Row needing to be emailed is transferred to a different blank sheet when I enter "Email JM" at the end of the row and by setting data validation for this column this can be done by clicking the drop down arrow (no typing). My onEditEmail trigger is set to every minute, which sends all the columns I need from "Sheet2) and then immediately deletes the row so it is not resent a minute later.
The only problem is if 2 orders are entered inside a minute, but this is a very small chance of happening (although I guess it will sooner or later).
Please point out where I can improve this.
Cheers
