I can't understand why Google Form is returning me not the last responses, but the penultimate one after I run an OnSubmit script. Let me explain better, I intend to intercept the user's responses and when sending the form to propose a link pre-filled with his last answers given that he can modify and postpone.
function getLastFormResponse(form = FormApp.getActiveForm()) {
form.getResponses()
.pop()
.getItemResponses()
.forEach((itemResponse) => {
this[itemResponse.getItem().getTitle()] = itemResponse.getResponse();
}
);
}
const formResponse = new getLastFormResponse();
const name = formResponse['NAME'];
Logger.log(name);
const surname = formResponse['SURNAME'];
Logger.log(surname);
const age = formResponse['AGE'];
Logger.log(age);
const reserved_room = formResponse['RESERVED_ROOM'];
Logger.log(reservedRoom);
var constructionLink = ('https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScgu1FWB6-tQjpviyr9_dZetd2SKdqZZmsL_Imp30nWYqsq7g/viewform?usp=pp_url&entry.81904614='+name+'&entry.1534059913='+surname+'&entry.181893772='+age+'&entry.772338055='+reservedRoom);
Logger.log(constructionLink);
Logger.log(JSON.stringify(formResponse,null,2));
form = FormApp.getActiveForm();
form.setConfirmationMessage('Thanks for your feedback !!'+ constructionLink )
So, when the user press Submit button, a link comes out pre-filled with the "latest" information present... but, in reality, not the last (before the submit) but the penultimate ones are taken from corresponding spreadsheet ...
I would like to get the latest that he filled out.

First of all, thank you for your time.
I have been looking for a while for a program, a script or anything that could help me automate a task that otherwise is going to take very long.
See, i'm a french computer technician working for almost exclusively doctors here in France.
The doctors receive results by email, the results are then imported to the patient's folder from the email automatically.
But in order for them to receive that information we have to communicate an email address from a special domain + the doctor's ID that is like your driver's ID.
We use google contact as an address book because it's convenient. Since whenever we make a new maintenance contract with a doctor we input everything to google contact the info is already there. Sometimes we have up to 20 doctors in the same cabinet to set.
Link to a Google Sheet Contact Sample
The fields are the following :
Structure's Name : {{contact company name}} (all the doctors share the same structure)
Strutre's Adress : {{contact full address}} (all the doctors share the same structure)
First doctor
Last Name : {{last_name}}
First Name : {{first_name}}
eMail Address : {{email_address}} (this one is tagged MSSANTE in ggC)
Doc's ID : {{custom_field}} (this is a custom field tagged RPPS in ggC)
Second doctor
Last Name : {{last_name}}
First Name : {{first_name}}
eMail Address : {{email_address}} (this one is tagged MSSANTE in ggC)
Doc's ID : {{custom_field}} (this is a custom field tagged RPPS in ggC)
So on and so on.
Then this as to be sent to many laboratories all in BCC and the customers/doctors usually in CC
I was thinking of using google sheets or google's people API somehow...
Can someone give me a strategy or some code to start ?
Again thanks to anyone who can help even a bit.
Try
function email() {
const ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet()
const emails = ss.getSheetByName('LABS mails').getRange('C2:C').getValues().flat().filter(r => r != '').join(',')
MailApp.sendEmail({
to: emails,
subject: 'titre du mail',
htmlBody: body()
})
}
function body() {
const ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet()
const template = ss.getSheetByName('Mail Template (Exemple)')
const docteurs = ss.getSheetByName('Doctors')
let [headers, ...data] = docteurs.getDataRange().getDisplayValues()
let debut = template.getRange('A2:A').getValues().flat().filter(r => r != '').join('<br>')
let variable = template.getRange('B2:B').getValues().flat().filter(r => r != '').join('<br>')
let fin = template.getRange('C2:C').getValues().flat().filter(r => r != '').join('<br>')
const liste = ['{CABINET}', '{NOM}', '{PRENOM}', '{EMAIL}', '{RPPS}']
const colonnes = [1,4,3,8,7]
let message = debut
data.forEach((r, row) => {
var texte = variable
for (var i = 0; i < liste.length; i++) {
texte = texte.replace(liste[i], r[+colonnes[i] - 1])
}
message += texte + '<br><br>'
})
message += fin
return (message)
}
Put the text as follows (you will need a little html tags)

I am looking for something that allows me from a mail PDF attachment to get a data in a google sheet.
We all often get PDF attachments in our email and it will be great if we get the entire data in a google sheet.
DO let me know if there is anything like this
Explanation:
Your question is very broad and it is impossible to give a specific answer because that answer would depend on the pdf but also on the data you want to fetch from that, besides all the other details you skipped to mention.
Here I will provide a general code snippet which you can use to get the pdf from the gmail attachments and then convert it to text (string). For this text you can use some regular expressions (which have to be very specific on your use case) to get the desired information and then put it in your sheet.
Code snippet:
The main code will this one. You should only modify this code:
function myFunction() {
const queryString = "label:unread from example#gmail.com" // use your email query
const threads = GmailApp.search(queryString);
const threadsMessages = GmailApp.getMessagesForThreads(threads);
const ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActive();
for (thr = 0, thrs = threads.length; thr < thrs; ++thr) {
let messages = threads[thr].getMessages();
for (msg = 0, msgs = messages.length; msg < msgs; ++msg) {
let attachments = messages[msg].getAttachments();
for (att = 0, atts = attachments.length; att < atts; ++att) {
let attachment_Name = attachments[att].getName();
let filetext = pdfToText( attachments[att], {keepTextfile: false} );
Logger.log(filetext)
// do something with filetext
// build some regular expression that fetches the desired data from filetext
// put this data to the sheet
}}}
}
and pdfToText is a function implemented by Mogsdad which you can find here. Just copy paste the code snippet provided in that link together with myFunction I posted in this answer. Also you have some options which you can use that are very well explained in the link I provided. Important thing to note, to use this library you need to enable the Drive API from the resources.
This will get you started and if you face any issues down the road which you can't find the solution for, you should create a new post here with the specific details of the problem.
I have a google spreadsheet which contains multiple sheets (or tabs) within it. Each sheet is populated from its own unique form. None of the forms are embedded in the spreadsheet.
Periodically, I need to delete all the data in the sheets, and also delete all the old responses which are saved in each of the forms. I can do this using a .gs script which resides in the spreadsheet. It accesses the form by its ID (the long string which appears in its URI). This requires the ID string to be hardcoded in my .gs script.
Ideally, I would like to access each form from the sheet object (i.e. the destination for each forms entries). Mock up code would look like this...
var ss = SpreadSheedApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var sheet = ss.getActiveSheet();
var form = sheet.getMyAssociatedSourceForm(); // my dream method :-)
form.deleteAllResponses() // this method already exists
Does anyone know if this is possible? Or will I have to continue to use the ID (which is currently working)?
rgds...
I think you can do this without literally typing in ID's into your script. But, you would need to get every Form in your drive, loop through them all and get the destinationId() of every Form.
Google Documentation
Then compare the destinationId with the current spreadsheets ID, which you can get without needing to "hard code" it:
function deleteAllResponses() {
var thisSS_ID = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getId();
var allForms = DriveApp.getFilesByType(MimeType.GOOGLE_FORMS);
var thisFormFile, thisFormFileID = "", thisForm, theDestID = "";
while (allForms.hasNext()) {
thisFormFile = allForms.next();
thisFormFileID = thisFormFile.getId();
thisForm = FormApp.openById(thisFormFileID);
try {
theDestID = thisForm.getDestinationId();
} catch(err) {
continue;
};
if (theDestID === "" || theDestID === undefined) {
continue;
};
if (theDestID === thisFormFileID) {
thisForm.deleteAllResponses();
};
};
};
I have not tested this, so don't know if it works. If it does, let me know in the comments section.
I have a form which has both server side and client side validation.
It is an edit form, so the original user values are originally pre-populated.
e.g. The original pre-populated values are:
username = yeo
surname = yang
phonenumber = 11-12345
Now, the user edits to the below and submits.
e.g. The edited submitted values are:
username = yeoNew
surname = yangNew
phonenumber = 12-1111
This gets submitted to the serverside and fails the serverside validation because the phonenumber starting with 12 is not allowed.
Anyway, so the form is displayed back to the user as
e.g. The redisplayed form values are:
username = yeoNew
surname = yangNew
phonenumber = 12-1111
This is because my form allows the user to remember their submitted values.
At this stage, I'd like to allow the user to have the ability to reset the form values to the original values using clientside javascript. This is like a reset feature.
e.g. The reset button will restore the form values to:
username = yeo
surname = yang
phonenumber = 11-12345
The reason for this reset feature is that I want the user to have the option to edit the phonenumber again from the original values.
My question is:
What is a good way to keep track of the original values within the HTML so that I can restore it with javascript?
I'm thinking a new attribute called orig='' within the form elements which will store this value.
Is that a good idea?
Any other approaches?
thanks
I would use the HTML5 local storage.
See http://www.w3schools.com/html/html5_webstorage.asp
Using jquery I would do it this way:
<script type="text/javascript">
function load() {
if (localStorage["username"]) {
$('#username').val(localStorage["username"]);
}
if (localStorage["surname"]) {
$('#surname').val(localStorage["surname"]);
}
if (localStorage["phone"]) {
$('#phone').val(localStorage["phone"]);
}
}
function save() {
localStorage["username"] = $('#username ').val();
localStorage["surname"] = $('#surname').val();
localStorage["phone"] = $('#phone').val();
}
</script>
I am using sessions to populate a multi select box with options in my Zend application.
The user selects one or more options and fills in other fields on the form and then submits. If the user didn't select all of the options in the multi select then the form is displayed again but the multi select only has the options that the user did not select the last time. This process goes on until there are no more options from the multi select left to process.
Here is the code I use to get rid of the options that have already been processed so that they are not used to populate the multi select box:
if($form_successful){
// TODO remove $post['keyword_names'] (i.e. already processed) from $keyword_names (that come from $_SESSION)
$keyword_names = array_diff($keyword_names, $post['keyword_names']);
print_r($keyword_names);
if(is_array($keyword_names) && !empty($keyword_names)){
// save updated $keyword_names into $_SESSION['workflow1']
$session = new Zend_Session_Namespace('workflow1');
$session->keyword_names = $keyword_names;
// set flag to false so that we display form again
$form_successful = false;
}else{ // all keywords have been assigned
// go to next step
$this->_redirect('/workflow-1/step-'.($step+1).'/');
}
}
print_r($keyword_names); displays the correct options, however when the form is loaded when the user submits, the multi select displays the options that were there from the begining ie the options the user has just selected and submitted are not being taken out of the multi select, it is only when the user submits the form again then the multi select box updates.
Appreciate the help.
Solved the issue by making use of URL parameters. Here is the code (might differ a lot from what I posted first because some big changes were made):
// after successful form submission
if($form_successful){
// remove $post['keyword_names'] (i.e. already processed) from $keyword_names (that come from $_SESSION)
$keyword_names = array_diff($keyword_names, $post['keyword_names']);
// save remaining $keyword_names into $_SESSION['workflow1']
$session = new Zend_Session_Namespace('workflow1');
$session->keyword_names = $keyword_names;
if(is_array($keyword_names) && !empty($keyword_names)){
// redirect to the same step again - to ensure that the form will reflect (in select lists) newly created AdGroup and/or Campaign
// GET parameteres ($params_array) provide a way to remember user's choice
$params_array = array();
if(!empty($post['match_type_id'])){
$params_array['match_type_id'] = $post['match_type_id'];
}
if(!empty($post['with_permutations'])){
$params_array['with_permutations'] = $post['with_permutations'];
}
if(!empty($ad_group_id)){
$params_array['ad_group_id'] = $ad_group_id;
}
$this_step_url = UrlUtils::assemble('', $this->getRequest()->getActionName(), $this->getRequest()->getControllerName(), $this->getRequest()->getModuleName(), $params_array);
$this->_redirect($this_step_url);
}else{ // all keywords have been assigned
// go to next step
$this->_redirect('/workflow-1/step-'.($step+1).'/');
}
}
So you don't have any code about Zend_Form object here. How do you populate the form element? If you post your class code which extends Zend_Form (or any other code dials with your form) then I may help. But in any case you can populate your multiselectbox with setMultiOptions() method or addMultiOption() for each item in multiselectbox.
