I'm trying to extract some data from the Facebook Marketing API to Google Sheets.
I'm using a tool created by Ritwik:
https://github.com/RitwikGA/FacebookReportingTool
But I need to make a small change, and due to my limited skills, I have a big problem with that.
Getting to a point, I need to extract data from the last 14 days divided by each day.
var CLIENT_ID = '' ; // Insert App ID
var CLIENT_SECRET = ''; //; // Insert App Secret
var FB_AD_ACCOUNT_ID = '' //Ad Account Id
var FB_FIELDS = 'clicks,spend,impressions,campaign_name,adset_name,ad_name';
var FB_LEVEL = 'ad'; // ad,adset,campaign,account
var pos = [2,1] //Spreadsheet Cell Position
var DATE_RANGE='last_14d';
var start_date='2017-01-01'; // custom date range
var end_date='2017-06-30';
I set the date range, but I have no idea how and where I should add a command to divide data by day.
Now it is shown together for the entire period.

I am new to Google Apps Script and coding in general and wasn't entirely sure how to do this. I want to create code that allows me to create a new set of Google Slides based on a Slides template using the relevant rows from a Google Sheets document.
function generateNewSlides() {
var wsID = "would insert worksheet URL ID here";
var ws = SpreadsheetApp.openById(wsID).getSheetByName("Data");
var data = ws.getRange(2, 1, ws.getLastRow()-1, 5).getValues();
>the above should get the relevant table from the sheet
data.forEach(function(info){
if(info[0]){
var firstname = info[0];
var surname = info[1];
var email = info[2];
var phone = info[3];
var image = info[4];
var presName = info[5];
>the above are columns where the different pieces of data would be taken from for the placeholders in the Slides template
var slidesTemplateID = "would insert slides template URL ID here";
var slidesTemplate = SlidesApp.openById(slidesTemplateID);
var template = slidesTemplate.getSlides();
var folderID = "would insert desired folder ID for saving in here";
>the above should get me the Slides template
template.makeCopy(presName,DriveApp.getFolderById(folderID)); **>line where error occurred**
var newPresentation = DriveApp.getFilesByName(presName).next().getUrl();
var Presentation = SlidesApp.openByUrl(newPresentation);
>the above should create a copy and then open it
var shapes = (Presentation.getShapes());
shapes.forEach(function(shape){
shape.getText().replaceAllText('{{firstname}}',firstname);
shape.getText().replaceAllText('{{surname}}',surname);
shape.getText().replaceAllText('{{email}}',email);
shape.getText().replaceAllText('{{phone}}',phone);
shape.getText().replaceAllText('{{presname}}', presName)
});
>the above should replace all the placeholder tags in the template with the row data
}
});
}
Above is the code I have so far. The worksheet I am extracting data from has columns: first name, surname, email address, phone number, image (URL), and presentation name. When I try to run it I encounter an error on line 37 where it says template.makeCopy is not a function, however I am certain .makeCopy should be able to create a copy for it, no?
My main questions are:
1) What should I change to make it work, generating a new set slides for each row in the worksheet?
2) How can I add images to it replacing placeholder tags I've added in squares (not textboxes) in the template?
Thanks in advance!
Issue 1. makeCopy:
makeCopy(name, destination) is a method of the class File, which belongs to the Drive Service, not to the Slides Service. In your code, template is a list of Slides (you retrieve it by calling the method getSlides() from a Presentation). makeCopy cannot work here.
In order to make a copy of a Presentation, you should be using the Drive Service instead. You should replace these lines:
var slidesTemplate = SlidesApp.openById(slidesTemplateID);
var template = slidesTemplate.getSlides();
With this one:
var template = DriveApp.getFileById(slidesTemplateID);
Issue 2. Iterating through all shapes:
Next, you want to iterate through all shapes in your Presentation, and replace all placeholder tags with your desired text. In order to do that, you are using Presentation.getShapes(), which cannot work, since getShapes() is not a method of Presentation, but of Slide.
You should first iterate through all Slides in the Presentation, and for each Slide, iterate through all Shapes. You should replace these lines:
var shapes = (Presentation.getShapes());
shapes.forEach(function(shape){
// Replacing text lines
});
With these ones:
Presentation.getSlides().forEach(function(slide) {
slide.getShapes().forEach(function(shape) {
// Replacing text lines
})
});
Note:
In order to retrieve the copied presentation, you are currently doing this:
template.makeCopy(presName,DriveApp.getFolderById(folderID));
var newPresentation = DriveApp.getFilesByName(presName).next().getUrl();
var Presentation = SlidesApp.openByUrl(newPresentation);
There is no need to do this, you can just retrieve the ID of the created template, and open by ID, like this:
var copiedTemplate = template.makeCopy(presName,DriveApp.getFolderById(folderID));
var Presentation = SlidesApp.openById(copiedTemplate.getId());

I have a formula that calculates a number based on the response from a google form. Depending on what this number I want to send an email using details from the from as well as a pre typed email in another cell.
In Col1 is a time stamp, in col14 is an employee start date. My formula in Col33 works out how many days they have been employed at the time of submitting the form.
I want to send an email to the person if the number of days is less than 182.
I have an email pre typed out and can place this anywhere. At the moment I have it in all cells in col36. The email address will be in column32.
I have tried a number of different codes and none of them are sending the email no matter what the trigger I have set up is. I have very basic knowledge on apps script so my current code might be completely wrong, but it should show roughly what I'm getting at.
function sendEmail() {
var values = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet().getDataRange().getValues()
for (i in values.length) {
var data = values[i][33];
var emailAddress = values[i][32];
var message = values[i][36];
if (data < 182); {
MailApp.sendEmail(emailAddress, "Flexible Working Request", message);
}
}
}
The current results have just been deleting the data in col33, Col34 & Col36 on the new form response row only.
Sorry if this question has been answered elsewhere, any other answer I found to similar issues I could not get to work.
I got someone who is much better at google apps script at work to give me a hand
It is to do with google forms pushing down formulas to the side
So we had to move the formula calculating the number of days to another sheet and then used this formula which worked
function sendEmailv2() {
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheetByName('Form responses
1');
var scrip = Session.getScriptTimeZone();
var date = sheet.getRange(sheet.getLastRow(),14).getValue();
var sub = sheet.getRange(sheet.getLastRow(),1).getValue();
Logger.log(date);
var fortmat = Utilities.formatDate(new Date(date), scrip, "dd/MM/yyyy");
var Subfortmat = Utilities.formatDate(new Date(sub), scrip, "dd/MM/yyyy");
var emailAddress = sheet.getRange(sheet.getLastRow(),32).getValue();
var sheet2 = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheetByName('Sheet4');
var message = sheet2.getRange(1,1).getValue();
var days = sheet2.getRange(sheet2.getLastRow(),2).getValue();
if (days<182){
MailApp.sendEmail(emailAddress, "Flexible Working Request", message,{noReply:true});
}
}
Thanks!
You don’t need to go over all the columns to get a single cell value, so there is no need for a for loop. You can do it directly with:
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet().getSheets[0];
var cell = ["A33"];
var days_value = sheet.getRange(cell).getValue();
Then you can just make an if condition to send the email:
if (days_value < 182){
MailApp.sendEmail(emailAddress, "Flexible Working Request", message);
}
Hope this helps
I need to import a large table of data into my database in one go. I currently have it as an Excel file but I am happy to copy it to Google sheets etc.
So far I've added a few entries manually directly via cloud firestore.
Is there a solution already out there to achieve this?
I think the easiest way to export table data into Firestore is to use a Google Apps Script Library (for Google Sheets).
Step 1
Make a Copy of THIS example Google Spreadsheet I created as an example
Step 2
From the menu of YOUR copy of the Example Google Spreadsheet from step 1, click Tools > Script Editor. This should open up the example Google App Script associated with the example spreadsheet.
Step 3
Follow the Steps for installing this library and then update the script with the following:
email
key
projectID
These variables are generated by going to the Google Service Accounts page. This will require that you already have a Firebase or Google Cloud account setup. I won't repeat all the steps that are already iterated in in the aforementioned Github writeup. Just follow them carefully, and realize that the private_key is THE ENTIRE KEY starting with -----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----\n, EVERYTHING in between, and ending with \n-----END PRIVATE KEY-----\n
Step 4
Insert a page on your spreadsheet that contains your data, and EDIT the script to use your new sheet name and your data. I have HEAVILY commented the script so it's pretty clear what almost every line of code is doing. For those of you that just want to peek at the Google App Script that's behind this spreadsheet, here's the code:
// Note this Script uses an external library as per this page:
// https://github.com/grahamearley/FirestoreGoogleAppsScript
// This solution requires a Google Spreadhseet and a Firebase Account
// FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS ON THAT GITHUB REPO TO SETUP NEEDED API KEYS!!!
//Global Variables
const ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet(); // Gets the active "workbook"
const sheet = ss.getSheetByName('Restaurants'); // CHANGE TO YOUR SHEET NAME
const headerRowNumber = 1; // If you have more than one row for your header, then change this value to number of header rows
// If you want to mark modified cells, then set up a trigger for the following function:
// Edit > Current Project Triggers > (+ Add Trigger) > On Edit Spreadsheet etc
function onEdit(e) {
var cell = ss.getActiveCell(); //This will also effectively get our row
var dataRange = sheet.getDataRange(); //This checks for all rows/columns with data
var modifiedCol = dataRange.getLastColumn()-1; //Our "modified" column should be the second to last
if (cell.getColumn() < modifiedCol && cell.getRow() > headerRowNumber) { //If we edit any cells to the left of our modified column and below our header...
var celltoMark = sheet.getRange(cell.getRowIndex(),modifiedCol) //Get the R/C cordinates of cell to place modified time
celltoMark.setValue(new Date()); //write timestamp to that cell
}
};
// This will parse any comma separated lists you create in any of your fields (useful for search words, or attributes, etc)
function listToArray(list) {
var ogArray = list.split(","); //Input is a comma separated list
let trimmedArr = ogArray.map(string => string.trim()); //Let's strip out the leading/trailing whitespaces if any
return trimmedArr; //return the cleaned array
}
function writeToFireStore() {
const email = 'sheets#yourprojectid.iam.gserviceaccount.com'; // CHANGE THIS!!!
const key = '-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----\nYOURPRIVATEKEY\n-----END PRIVATE KEY-----\n'; // CHANGE THIS!!!
const projectID = 'yourprojectid'; // CHANGE THIS!!!
var firestore = FirestoreApp.getFirestore(email, key, projectID);
const collection = "MySpreadsheetData"; // Name of your Firestore Database "Collection"
var dataRange = sheet.getDataRange().offset(headerRowNumber, 0, sheet.getLastRow() - headerRowNumber); //this is your data range
var data = dataRange.getValues(); // this is an array of your datarange's values
var lastCol = dataRange.getLastColumn(); // this is the last column with a header
var newDoc = {}; // Instantiate your data object. Each one will become the data for your firestore documents
// r = row number in this case
for (let r = 0; r <= dataRange.getLastRow(); r++) {
//Logger.log("R = ",r);
var cellMod = dataRange.getCell(r+1, lastCol-1);
var cellFS = dataRange.getCell(r+1, lastCol);
var cellModVal = cellMod.getValue();
var cellFSVal = cellFS.getValue();
//
// IMPORTANT READ THIS IMPORTANT READ THIS IMPORTANT READ THIS IMPORTANT READ THIS IMPORTANT READ THIS!!!
// Well, read the line below...
if (r > 2) break; //Comment Out this line after you're done testing otherwise you'll write all your rows to firestore after every run
newDoc[r] = {
name : data[r][1],
category : data[r][2],
cuisine : data[r][3],
address: {
add1: data[r][4],
add2: data[r][5],
city: data[r][6],
state: data[r][7],
zip: data[r][8]
},
tel: data[r][9],
searchterms: listToArray(data[r][10]) //Let's turn a csv list into an array
}
// For the sake of efficiency and to save $, we WON'T create documents that have already been created...
// ...and we won't update documents that have a fireStore Timestamp that's newer than a Modified Timestamp
// If there's not firestore timestamp in our spreadsheet, then let's create firestore document and update firestore stamp:
if (!cellFSVal) {
var now = new Date(); //Generate timestamp right now
try {
firestore.createDocument(collection + "/" + data[r][0], newDoc[r]); // To Use Your Own Document ID
//Now let's insert a timestamp in our Firestore TS column of the sheet so we know it's been added to Firestore
cellFS.setValue(now);
Logger.log("Row ",r,"(",data[r][1],") is NEW and was added to FireStore Successfully");
} catch (e) {
Logger.log("Error: ",e," : Document with same name already existed in Firestore.");
}
}
//var if FS Timestamp exists but, the modified time stamp is greater, let's update the Firstore Document
else if ((cellFSVal) && (cellModVal > cellFSVal)) {
try {
firestore.updateDocument(collection + "/" + data[r][0], newDoc[r]);
//Now let's insert a timestamp in our Firestore TS column of the sheet so we know it's been updated to Firestore
cellFS.setValue(now);
Logger.log("Row ",r,"(",data[r][1],") updated/edited.");
} catch (e) {
Logger.log("Error: ",e," : Document existed, we tried updating it, but jack shit happened.");
}
}
else {
Logger.log("Row ",r,"(",data[r][1],") Already in Firestore & hasn't been modified. Skipped.");
}
}
}
Step 5
Once your script is modified to your needs, it's time to run the script. Simply save it (File > Save), then choose the function "writeToFireStore" from the "Select function" dropdown selector in the menu bar (in between the icon of the bug, and the lightbulb), then hit the PLAY icon (to the left of the bug icon). At this point, you will likely be prompted to accept permissions to run the script, (which you need to accept if you want to run the script). Once you've accepted the permissions, then run the "writeToFireStore" function again if it hasn't already run, and voila!
NOTES:
I created a function that automatically writes a Modified Timestamp to the second to last column in the target sheet, and when you run the function, writes a Firestore Timestamp (so you know which rows have been successfully exported to Firestore). This way, if you run the firestore function again, and you haven't changed the data on your sheet, it won't bother updating the database with the same data (and will save you money and/or server resources). For this functionality to work, you must setup project Triggers (which is explained inside the script in the comments).
I am currently trying to setup an approval workflow. I'm fairly junior when it comes to some of this stuff. But so far have it working at respectable level to fit our needs with the assistance of an example.
I was using the template/example from Email Approval using Google Script and a Form.
The issue I am running into, with a lack of functionality is that at the time of Accept or Deny via the Email that is generated for approval I would like it to then record that data back into the Google Form row in the last column that the email was generated from.
I may end up adding 2nd timestamp, reply email etc later.
So then that row would show the initial form filled out and then either blank/accepted/deny as the status.
Thank you for any time or assistance.
The approval workflow that James Ferreira originally wrote was intentionally very basic. Enhancing it to provide correlation between approvals and the original requests is simple in concept, yet complicates the code because of details and limitations.
Things that need to considered:
Form responses include a timestamp, which we can use as a sort of "serial number" for responses, since it has a very high probability of being unique in an application like this.
We can pass this identifier along with the rest of the URL embedded in the approval email, which will give it back as a parameter to the webapp, in turn.
Passing an object like a timestamp between applications can be troublesome. To ensure that the URL embedded in the approval email works, we need to encode the string representation of the timestamp using encodeURIComponent(), then decode it when the webapp consumes it.
Searching for matches is simplified by use of ArrayLib.indexOf() from Romain Vaillard's 2D Array library. This function converts all array data to strings for comparisons, so it fits nicely with our timestamp.
Alternatively, we could put effort into creating some other identifier that would be "guaranteed" to be unique.
The approval-response web app (doGet()) does not understand what "activeSpreadsheet" means, even though it is a script contained within a spreadsheet. This means that we need a way to open the spreadsheet and record the approval result. To keep this example simple, I've assumed that we'll use a constant, and update the code for every deployment. (Ick!).
So here's the Better Expense Approval Workflow script.
// Utilizes 2D Array Library, https://sites.google.com/site/scriptsexamples/custom-methods/2d-arrays-library
// MOHgh9lncF2UxY-NXF58v3eVJ5jnXUK_T
function sendEmail(e) {
// Response columns: Timestamp Requester Email Item Cost
var email = e.namedValues["Requester Email"];
var item = e.namedValues["Item"];
var cost = e.namedValues["Cost"];
var timestamp = e.namedValues["Timestamp"];
var url = ScriptApp.getService().getUrl();
// Enhancement: include timestamp to coordinate response
var options = '?approval=%APPROVE%×tamp=%TIMESTAMP%&reply=%EMAIL%'
.replace("%TIMESTAMP%",encodeURIComponent(e.namedValues["Timestamp"]))
.replace("%EMAIL%",e.namedValues["Requester Email"])
var approve = url+options.replace("%APPROVE%","Approved");
var reject = url+options.replace("%APPROVE%","Rejected");
var html = "<body>"+
"<h2>Please review</h2><br />"+
"Request from: " + email + "<br />"+
"For: "+item +", at a cost of: $" + cost + "<br /><br />"+
"Approve<br />"+
"Reject<br />"+
"</body>";
MailApp.sendEmail(Session.getEffectiveUser().getEmail(),
"Approval Request",
"Requires html",
{htmlBody: html});
}
function doGet(e){
var answer = (e.parameter.approval === 'Approved') ? 'Buy it!' : 'Not this time, Keep saving';
var timestamp = e.parameter.timestamp;
MailApp.sendEmail(e.parameter.reply, "Purchase Request",
"Your manager said: "+ answer);
// Enhancement: store approval with request
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.openById(###Sheet-Id###).getSheetByName("Form Responses");
var data = sheet.getDataRange().getValues();
var headers = data[0];
var approvalCol = headers.indexOf("Approval") + 1;
if (0 === approvalCol) throw new Error ("Must add Approval column.");
// Record approval or rejection in spreadsheet
var row = ArrayLib.indexOf(data, 0, timestamp);
if (row < 0) throw new Error ("Request not available."); // Throw error if request was not found
sheet.getRange(row+1, approvalCol).setValue(e.parameter.approval);
// Display response to approver
var app = UiApp.createApplication();
app.add(app.createHTML('<h2>An email was sent to '+ e.parameter.reply + ' saying: '+ answer + '</h2>'))
return app
}
So, I tried this, but there an issue with the formatting for date when it's in the data array. In order to get this to work, you have to reformat the time stamp in the doGet using formatDate.
I used the following to get it to match the formatting that appears in the array.
var newDate = Utilities.formatDate(new Date(timestamp) , "PST", "EEE MMM d yyyy HH:mm:ss 'GMT'Z '(PST)'");
Lastly, of course update the indexof parameter that is passed to newDate.
I have a google spreadsheet with a pivot table, which i want to be emailed automatically based on certain criteria using my gmail. I am quite happy with the email script and the cinditions however I cannot find anywhere a script that can effectively replicate a "copy - paste" of the table into the email.
I would appreciate any help you could offer with this.
Thanks

I managed to get it to work using advice from this community. Thank you!
I am trying to get it to display values horizontally i.e. each line a new customer record. However, i get something different. I am attaching a file with what I get and the code. I would appreciate any advice. I am so sure that the solution is just there but after many hours I cannot get it :( I am showing the code below and I am attaching a photo with the current and desired outcome.
Many thanks

You need to write the email body as html and insert the in there. More work if you want to mimic formatting. Try if and write back if you get stuck.
