I am trying to create a Daily Overview document that I can read each morning by way of a PDF delivered to my email. I have a script that creates a Google Doc but whenever I try to email it as a PDF it sends a completely blank document. When I check the Google doc (which I am currently also emailing to help test for bugs) it shows what I want. This is what I am using to create the PDF:
var pdfDocument = DriveApp.getFileById(ID).getAs("application/pdf");
This part works when I replace 'ID' with a string ID copied from an already existing doc. The variable 'ID' is defined as:
var ID = doc.getId();
I know this is pulling the correct ID because I have the logger set to display it and it matches the resulting Google Doc. I am new to scripting so forgive any mistakes or poor etiquette. Here is a link to the script.
Well, I was a nimrod. I added doc.saveAndClose(); at the end of everything to do with the Google Doc but before getting the document as a PDF. Hope this helps someone else!

I have a Word add-in which is trying to use the createDocument() function to create a new document at runtime and then open it. This works fine on Word on the desktop. However, when running in Word online using Google Chrome, a message appears:
"This add-In is about to create a new document in your default folder
on your current cloud repository."
But no document is created. In the Chrome developer console, a message appears:
"Sorry, something went wrong. Check the
OfficeExtension.Error.debugInfo for more information."
In other browsers, after receiving this prompt another prompt will appear about the add-in opening a new window, after which the document will appear as expected.
As per the documentation, I'm passing the base64-encoded document to the function. The code in question goes like this:
Word.run(async context => {
var base64doc = fetchBase64(); // gets the base64 encoded document
const app = context.application; // get the app from the context
const newDoc = app.createDocument(base64doc);
newDoc.open();
await context.sync();
});
So my question is: is this a bug in the OfficeJS library, or with Chrome, or is there something else (something undocumented) that I should be doing to make it work properly in this instance?
#msft-jipyua, I'm just a scrub, but can confirm issue here. Image attached is what I see when I call the auto open function from word online in google chrome. Not sure why it isn't working..sorry for non answer, but this was only way i could add to this post
error message seen javascript console
I've got a database containing offline conversions (email, phone, name, purchase_amount, etc). I can export this database in .csv or .xls and I can also email this file on a daily basis to a Gmail account.
As Zapier has a Google Sheet to "Facebook offline event" API, I tried this workflow with Zapier.com:
Export my database in .xls: OK
Mail it to my Gmail account as an email attachment: OK
Grab the attachment and upload file to Google Drive using Zapier: OK
This is the part where I'm in trouble: I want to copy the content of the .xls file that is on Google Drive to a new Google Sheet. I can't figure out how to do this in Zapier.
Finally, on every new spreadsheet created or new row added (depending on how I configure the Zap) , pushing the data to Facebook API.
I'm not a developer so I want to avoid coding if possible. I tought I could easily do it with zapier but it seems that working with data inside a file is not so easy.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thank you,
Best regards,
Tim.
If it were me I would look into the scripting capabilities of Google Sheets to try and achieve this, having your code execute from a single place eliminates other possible points of failure. That said, I have put together a somewhat hacky, code free solution that should set you up to do what you are looking to achieve. I break it down step by step below:
Step 1: Export database as .csv file. I could only get this to work with .csv files and not .xlsx files. There may be the ability to do so but it would require further trial and error.
Step 2: Mail it to your Gmail account where I assume there is a Zap which triggers to upload the attachment to your drive account automatically.
Step 3: Setup a second Zap that is connected to your Gmail account
that triggers when you receive an email with an attachment.
Step 4: Isolate the attachment file from the results of the triggered Zap and use it as input for the following formatter action step.
Step 5: Setup your formatter action step using the text option. Within the formatter template select trim white space and use the attachment, isolated from the trigger step, as its input. See example photo here.
Step 6: Setup your final step which is the create Google Sheet function of the Google Sheets Zap. Enter a title for your new sheet, it will probably need to be a unique value I used the attachment ID from step one as my title but you can set it to whatever you would like. In the headers section type =IMPORTDATA("") . Between the two quotation marks place the output of the previous formatter step and then run the Zap. See example photo here.
Explanation: When Zapier catches the attachment file from your inbound email it seems to be stored as raw data. Given this we cannot simply dump this information into a spreadsheet as it would be unreadable. However it seems Zapier has a method for converting this raw data through the endpoint https://zapier.com/engine/hydrate. When we input the raw attachment data into the formatter step Zapier provides a link pointing to the URL for converting the data into its original format. We take this URL and using the Google worksheet function IMPORTDATA() we are able to import the file using Zapier's file conversion engine. Now that the data is in your new sheet you can set up an additional Zap to do something with it. Also note that the Zap to upload the attachment to your Google Drive is not necessary with this setup. That said if you are looking to keep backups of your data then keep it on otherwise you may have the opportunity to save yourself some zaps.
Hope this helps!
Many thanks for your awesome reply. I also tried the "trim whitespace" to get the data back. I only missed the "importdata" function which is super powerful. Indeed it only works with .csv. With .xls file, importdata gives the source code of xls file which is useless.
I ended with 2 zaps:
Grab Gmail attachment, upload to Google Drive (for backup & monitoring) and create new spreadsheet
Send Facebook offline conversion when new spreadsheet is added (filter: only continue when file name is xxxx), lookup spreadsheet row (I took one column that has the same value for each row) and finaly I could match my columns with the Facebook API.
Is there a way to make a Jire email handler ignore the From field in an email and go for a custom tag instead? I know I could work with the API instead but that's in the pipe. this is a temporary solution that will be used until a more robust system is built.
To clarify what we have today:
Email is sent to inbox, (hr#company.com)
Jira picks is up and creates an issue.
Jira looks at the From field and creates a uses if none exist.
What we're trying to achieve:
Form is filled out, and an area is chosen (hr, facilities etc.).
Form is posted to an API that creates an email (basically a no-reply adress over SMTP) and sends it to the appropriate inbox (for example hr#company.com).
Email lands in the inbox and Jira looks in it and creates an issue in project or label 'HR'.
Jira now looks in the email and finds custom tags named [user] and [user-email] (or something) and creates a user from the tag.
Example email
From: no-reply#company.com
To: hr#company.com
Subject: Some problem
Body: Explanation of problem
Have a good day!
/Mike
[user:"Michael Smith"]
[userEmail:"michael.smith#company.com"]
If we were to implement this system now, we would loose the possibility to create new users because all emails would come from the same "no-reply" adress.
I have searched in the Atlassian forums and such, but with no luck. Have not found anything in the official documentation, but I fear that I might be looking in the wrong place.
I hope that I'm being clear, and that someone has any idea if it is possible.
Thank you!
You need to write your own plugin and create your own Mailhandler.
For example you can use a regex which looks for the tag
[userEmail:"michael.smith#company.com"] and retrieve the emailadress from the string. Do the same for the [user]-tag, if the user doesn't exist.
Here is a tutorial that shows how to create and setup custom Message Handlers:
https://developer.atlassian.com/jiradev/jira-platform/guides/email/tutorial-custom-message-mail-handler-for-jira#Tutorial-Custommessage(mail)handlerforJIRA-Step7:Implementarealmessagehandlerback-end
The rest should be easy from here.
Sorry about the provocative subject but I could not think of a better word than "hack" to describe what I would like to do!
On my site, I provide links to other sites and on request by the user, display a page from the site in a frame or pop up window. Frequently these displayed pages have a mailto-tag.
I have found it extremely annoying that clicking the mailto link starts off my outlook which I no longer use but retain it as an installed program on my machine.
What I would like to do is:
1) Pick up the subject and email address part of the mailto tag.
2) Pop up an HTML form where the email address and the subject is prefilled.
3) Send the email message through my site's mailserver instead of through outlook or any other mail client.
Is there a way to do this?
Thank you in advance - and once again apologies for the provocative subject line!
Cheers!

Try it using javascript.
With using a framework like jQuery its easy so find such tags inside a frame or popup window.
You can try it by something like this:
var allATags = $('myFrameId').find('a');
$(allATags).each(function(index, element){
var href = $(element).attr('href');
//here you shall try to find out if there a mailto Link or a normal link, e.g. using regular expression or indexOf()
[...]
if (isMailToLink){
//split the href String at the signs '&' with which the subject, mail, etc is splitted and removing the mailto, putting all in own variables
[...]
$(element).attr('href', 'javascript:void(0);');
$(element).click(function(){
showMyMailForm(toMail, mailSubject, mailBody);
});
}
});
On opening a document in a frame or a popup wait for the document being loaded and then run your code to replace all existing mailto-links on that document with your mailform-mailer.
The code is just a way trying to inspire, no working code.
Users can set their default email client, here are a couple of links that may be helpful:
Firefox
Chrome
Internet Explorer
Of course this is controlled by the user, so it will help you personally, but not force others to use a specific program.
You could easily pass url parameters onto your contact landing page/email form instead of a mailto link, something like a href="http://landingpage.com/index.php?email=you#you.com&subject=hello" could be used to pre-fill generic contact/email form fields.
I need to make a simple page in JSP. I've never worked in JSP before ever.
I have a form that has two fields: one is a file upload field and the other is a textbox. The user enters one email address in the field and uploads a file and upon submission. I should be able to email the attachment to the email address entered.
I need a quick code snippet that does this.
try to see this code, might need some debugging though :)
or this one from here (through the JavaMail API):
SmtpSender smtp=SmtpSender.getInstance();
MailToBeSent send=new MailToBeSent();
send.setSubject("Hello");
send.setFromAddress("some#bar.com","Someone");
send.addToAddress("another#foo.com","Anotherone");
send.setBody("Hello, test with the file attachment!");
byte[] bin=.....
send.attacheFile(bin,"photo.jpg","image/jpeg");
smtp.sendMail(send);
