htmlText += "Address : <span>" + addressesArray[i] + "</span><br/>";
}
document.getElementById("entities_box").innerHTML = htmlText;
}
I am using above code to access email address, but I am not able to see any result in entities_box div.
Please suggest how can I can get to,cc and from email address from it.
entities are only available if the message itself has entities extracted (eg "123 Main st, New York, New York 10001"). I would start debugging by first checking if the address has actually been detected (does the Bing Maps app activate on that message? did you leave it enabled?). Then, call json.stringify and see what item.getEntities() actually returns. Here's an article on how to extract entities: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/fp161071(v=office.15).aspx

I have figured out how to run a Google App Script project/function on a form submit using the information at https://developers.google.com/apps-script/guides/triggers/events#form-submit_4.
Once I have e I can call e.response to get a FormResponse object and then call getItemResponses() to get an array of all of the responses.
Without iterating through the array and checking each one, is there a way to find the ItemResponse for a specific question?
I see getResponseForItem(item) but it looks like I have to somehow create an Item first?
Can I some how use e.source to get the Form object and then find the Item by question, without iterating through all of them, so I could get the Item object I can use with getResponseForItem(item)?
This is the code I use to pull the current set of answers into a object, so the most current response for the question Your Name becomes form.yourName which I found to be the easiest way to find responses by question:
function objectifyForm() {
//Makes the form info into an object
var myform = FormApp.getActiveForm();
var formResponses = myform.getResponses()
var currentResponse = formResponses[formResponses.length-1];
var responseArray = currentResponse.getItemResponses()
var form = {};
form.user = currentResponse.getRespondentEmail(); //requires collect email addresses to be turned on or is undefined.
form.timestamp = currentResponse.getTimestamp();
form.formName = myform.getTitle();
for (var i = 0; i < responseArray.length; i++){
var response = responseArray[i].getResponse();
var item = responseArray[i].getItem().getTitle();
var item = camelize(item);
form[item] = response;
}
return form;
}
function camelize(str) {
str = str.replace(/[\.,-\/#!$%\^&\*;:{}=\-_`~()#\+\?><\[\]\+]/g, '')
return str.replace(/(?:^\w|[A-Z]|\b\w|\s+)/g, function(match, index) {
if (+match === 0) return ""; // or if (/\s+/.test(match)) for white spaces
return index == 0 ? match.toLowerCase() : match.toUpperCase();
});
}
//Use with installable trigger
function onSubmittedForm() {
var form = objectifyForm();
Logger.log(form);
//Put Code here
}
A couple of important things.
If you change the question on the form, you will need to update your
code
Non required questions may or may not have answers, so check if answer exists before you use it
I only use installable triggers, so I know it works with those. Not sure about with simple triggers
You can see the form object by opening the logs, which is useful for finding the object names
I'm looking for help to send an email whenever a new row is added by a google form entry if said entry contains an email in the Email column. I'm new to Javascript, but I've pieced together some code which I plan to run off an onEdit trigger in GSheets.
My problem is that if there is no email address, the code will fail. I need to know how to wrap this in an "if/else" or maybe just a simple error handling bit would be fine, not sure.
If I go with an "if/else", I'll need to check if the email column contains a value. I don't need to check if it is a valid email; the google form already does this on submission.
Here is the code I have right now:
function MessageNotification() {
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
ss.setActiveSheet(ss.getSheetByName("Message Board"));
//
//extracts the values in last row and stores them into a two-dimensional
array called data
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
var lastRow = sheet.getLastRow();
var dataRange = sheet.getRange(lastRow,3,1,8);
var data = dataRange.getValues();
//
//pull column elements into a one-dimensional array called rowData
for (i in data) {
var rowData = data[i];
var emailAddress = rowData[2];
var poster = rowData[7];
var subject = rowData[3];
var recipName = rowData[6];
var comment = rowData[4];
var replyLink = rowData[5];
//
//
var message = 'Dear ' + recipName + ',\n\n'+poster+' has posted the
following comment directed to you: '+'\n'+comment+'\n\n'+'To reply to this
comment click: '+replyLink;
var subject = subject;
MailApp.sendEmail(emailAddress, subject, message);
}
}
thanks in advance for any help you can give me.
Thank you tehhowch for the help. I'm new at this so I'll have to continue researching the link you referred to regarding iteration best practice. However I was able to get this working with a simple 'if' wrapper, which turned out to be simpler than I thought.
I did find out that form submission does not recognize an active sheet, so manually testing my code worked, while form submission did not trigger it.
After some looking, I replaced:
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
with this:
var ssID = '//insert spreadsheet id here';
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.openById(ssID);
This still did not work, so I had to kickstart it by deleting the trigger and putting it back in (found this info: On form submit trigger not working)
This may not be the most efficient code, but here is what I have now, and it does work:
function MessageNotification() {
var ssID = '//insert spreadsheet id here';
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.openById(ssID);
ss.setActiveSheet(ss.getSheetByName("Message Board"));
//extracts the values in last row and stores them into a two-dimensional
array called data
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
var lastRow = sheet.getLastRow();
var dataRange = sheet.getRange(lastRow,3,1,8);
var data = dataRange.getValues();
//
//pull column elements into a one-dimensional array called rowData
for (i in data) {
var rowData = data[i];
var emailAddress = rowData[2];
var poster = rowData[7];
var subject = rowData[3];
var recipName = rowData[6];
var comment = rowData[4];
var replyLink = rowData[5];
//
//
var message = 'Dear ' + recipName + ',\n\n'+poster+' has posted the
following comment directed to you: '+'\n'+comment+'\n\n'+'To reply to this
comment click: '+replyLink;
var subject = subject;
if(emailAddress)
{
MailApp.sendEmail(emailAddress, subject, message);}
}
}
As mentioned in the question comments, you want to use the event object available to the on form submit trigger. This can be accessed from a container-bound script on either the form or its responses spreadsheet, simply by adding a parameter to the function that receives the trigger.
This object is of the form:
e: {
authMode: <enum>,
namedValues: {
'q1title': [ <q1string> ],
'q2title': [ <q2string> ],
...
},
range: <Range>,
triggerUid: <string>,
values: [<q1string>, <q2string>, ...]
}
Using this object means that accessing of the Spreadsheet, for the purposes of emailing someone based on contents of the form, is unnecessary.
function MessageNotification(e) {
if(!e) return; // No form event object was provided.
var responses = e.namedValues;
var emailQTitle = /* the title of the question that asks for the email */;
// Check that 1) this question exists in the response object, and also
// 2) it has an answer with a value that 3) is "truthy".
// https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Glossary/Truthy
if(responses[emailQTitle] // 1
&& responses[emailQTitle].length // 2
&& responses[emailQTitle][0]) // 3
{
var emailAddress = responses[emailQTitle][0];
/* access the responses variable in a similar manner
for the other variables needed to construct the email */
MailApp.sendEmail(emailAddress, ... );
} else {
/* There was no response to the email question. */
// You can use View->Stackdriver Logging to inspect the form response, for
// example, to make sure that it had the format or values you expected.
console.log({form_object: e, responses: responses, emailTitle: emailQTitle});
}
}
I want this code to auto add contacts using trigger when form is submit but i get errors.
The code works properly with spreadsheet but I am not able get it work with forms.
I am kind of noob with coding.
So simple explanation would be helpful
Also contacts get add to "other" group in google contacts,is there any way to add them directly to "my contacts"?
function createHeaders() {
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var sheet = ss.getSheets()[0];
// Freezes the first row
sheet.setFrozenRows(1);
// Set the values we want for headers
var values = [
["First Name", "Last Name", "Email", "Phone Number", "Company", "Notes"]
];
// Set the range of cells
var range = sheet.getRange("A1:F1");
// Call the setValues method on range and pass in our values
range.setValues(values);
}
function createContact() {
var alreadyAdded = "Already added";
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
var startRow = 2; // First row of data to process
var numRows = 2; // Number of rows to process
// Fetch the range of cells A2:G3
var dataRange = sheet.getRange(startRow, 1, numRows, 8)
// 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 firstName = row[0]
var lastName = row[1]
var emailAddress = row[2]
var phone = row[3]
var company = row[4]
var notes = row[5]
var addedAlready = row[6];
if (addedAlready != alreadyAdded) {
// Create contact in Google Contacts
var contact = ContactsApp.createContact(firstName, lastName, emailAddress);
// Add values to new contact
contact.addCompany(company, "");
contact.addPhone(ContactsApp.Field.WORK_PHONE, phone);
contact.setNotes(notes);
sheet.getRange(startRow + i, 7).setValue(alreadyAdded);
};
};
};
I was able to reproduce the error by passing one or more empty strings as arguments to the createContact() method:
var contact = ContactsApp.createContact("", "", "");
Check the values in your data array by logging them to see if you've got any empty strings there. You can wrap the code in a try block the prevent errors from stopping program execution. Any errors will be logged in a catch block
try {
var contact = ContactsApp.createContact(a, b, c);
}
catch(error) {
Logger.log(error);
}
I see you're trying to connect your Spreadsheet to Google Form. Check the Connecting to Google Forms
Apps Script allows you to connect Google Forms with Google Sheets
through Forms and Spreadsheet services. This feature can automatically
create a Google Form based on data in a spreadsheet. Apps Script also
enables you to use triggers, such as onFormSubmit to perform a
specific action after a user responds to the form.
you might be referring to onFormSubmit.
Here's the code demo for your reference.
On console it presents just empty array and 0's for all the elements on the Business Insider page with the specific selectors. How can I add each number (which is views on their site) as a list or string of numbers and then .length on the variable and push it to my html interface?
var request = require('request');
var cheerio = require('cheerio');
var bilist = new Array();
//var x = document.getElementById('bi-stats').innerHTML;
var url = 'http://www.businessinsider.com/moneygame';
request(url, function(err,resp,body)
{
if (err)
throw err;
$ = cheerio.load(body); //create the dom object string
$('span.hot').each(function() {
$(this).text().append(bilist);
console.log(bilist);
console.log(bilist.length);
});
});
function start() {
window.addEventListener('load', bi_list(), false);
}
So jQuery has a different syntax for the 'for' iterator.
The correct code is shown below which appends the text element that contains # of views of the site Business Insider.
$('span.hot').each(function(i, elem) {
bilist[i] = $(this).text();
});
I have two working trigger functions in Google Script that fire when a form response spreadsheet gets a new submission. One inserts the "edit your submission" url into the spreadsheet. The other looks up the response's email and sends them a confirmation.
What I'm having a hard time understanding is how to populate the url first, and then send an email containing that url.
(Google Script is different to debug than js in the browser :\ )
Setup triggers
function Initialize() {
var triggers = ScriptApp.getScriptTriggers();
for (var i in triggers) {
ScriptApp.deleteTrigger(triggers[i]);
}
ScriptApp.newTrigger("SendConfirmationMail")
.forSpreadsheet(SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet())
.onFormSubmit()
.create();
assignEditUrls();
}
On form submit, searches for column titled "Clients Email", and sends a formatted email to them.
function SendConfirmationMail(e) {
try {
var ss, cc, sendername, subject, columns;
var message, value, textbody, sender;
var url;
// This is your email address and you will be in the CC
cc = Session.getActiveUser().getEmail();
// This will show up as the sender's name
sendername = "XXXX";
// Optional but change the following variable
// to have a custom subject for Google Docs emails
subject = "Form Complete: Mobile App - Client Questionnaire";
// This is the body of the auto-reply
message = "Confirmation text here.<br><br>Thanks!<br><br>";
ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
columns = ss.getRange(1, 1, 1, ss.getLastColumn()).getValues()[0];
// This is the submitter's email address
sender = e.namedValues["Clients Email"].toString();
// Only include form values that are not blank
for ( var keys in columns ) {
var key = columns[keys];
if ( e.namedValues[key] ) {
message += key + ' :: '+ e.namedValues[key] + "<br />";
}
}
textbody = message.replace("<br>", "\n\n");
GmailApp.sendEmail(sender, subject, textbody,
{cc: cc, name: sendername, htmlBody: message});
} catch (e) {
Logger.log(e.toString());
}
}
Separate function. Looks up form and applies the edit URL to the 26th column.
function assignEditUrls() {
var form = FormApp.openById('10BVYipGhDa_AthabHE-xxxxxx-hg');
//enter form ID here
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheetByName('Form Responses');
//Change the sheet name as appropriate
var data = sheet.getDataRange().getValues();
var urlCol = 26; // column number where URL's should be populated; A = 1, B = 2 etc
var responses = form.getResponses();
var timestamps = [], urls = [], resultUrls = [];
for (var i = 0; i < responses.length; i++) {
timestamps.push(responses[i].getTimestamp().setMilliseconds(0));
urls.push(responses[i].getEditResponseUrl());
}
for (var j = 1; j < data.length; j++) {
resultUrls.push([data[j][0]?urls[timestamps.indexOf(data[j][0].setMilliseconds(0))]:'']);
}
sheet.getRange(2, urlCol, resultUrls.length).setValues(resultUrls);
}
Programmers are provided no direct control over the order that trigger functions will be invoked, when they are dependent on the same event.
In your situation though, there are a couple of options available.
Use only one trigger function for the event, and have it invoke the current functions in the order you require. (Alternatively, set assignEditUrls() up as the only trigger function, and have it call SendConfirmationMail() after completing its task.
Have SendConfirmationMail() check for the availability of the Edit URL, and call Utilities.sleep() if the URL isn't ready yet. (In a loop, until ready.)
