I found the following script to insert form submission values into a google spreadsheet.
function doPost(e) { // change to doPost(e) if you are recieving POST data
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.openById(ScriptProperties.getProperty('active'));
var sheet = ss.getSheetByName("DATA");
var headers = sheet.getRange(1, 1, 1, sheet.getLastColumn()).getValues()[0]; //read headers
var headers2 = sheet.getRange(2, 1, 1, sheet.getLastColumn()).getValues()[0]; //read headers
var nextRow = sheet.getLastRow(); // get next row
var cell = sheet.getRange('a1');
var col = 0;
for (i in headers2){ // loop through the headers and if a parameter name matches the header name insert the value
if (headers2[i] == "Timestamp"){
val = new Date();
} else {
val = e.parameter[headers2[i]];
}
cell.offset(nextRow, col).setValue(val);
col++;
}

var app = UiApp.createApplication(); // included this part for debugging so you can see what data is coming in
var panel = app.createVerticalPanel();
for( p in e.parameters){
panel.add(app.createLabel(p +" "+e.parameters[p]));
}
app.add(panel);
return app;
}

function setUp() {
ScriptProperties.setProperty('active', SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getId());
}
Now I want to send a formatted email to two of my coworkers every time a row gets inserted. I tried to use:
var emailAddress = "email#gmail.com"; // First column
var message = "message"; // Second column
var subject = "Sending emails from a Spreadsheet";
MailApp.sendEmail(emailAddress, subject, message);
but it's not sending anything.. can anyone advise please?
I had the same trouble.
With the most recent version of Google Apps I had to save the script, create a new revision, and re-publish the script making sure to select the new revision. After this the new code was in effect. I wasted several hours in the belief that the script would be updated if I just saved it.
Somehow the new method saves the script elsewhere. It's almost impossible to tell what code is actually running unless you go through the process of saving a revision, and re-publishing.

I'm new to Google Apps script and am trying to add an image inline to an automated response email.
The auto reply works perfectly, the main text of the email formats well in plain text and html.
the problem i'm facing is that the image does not appear.
my code:
// This constant is written in column Y for rows for which an email
// has been sent successfully.
var EMAIL_SENT = 'EMAIL_SENT';
/**
* Sends non-duplicate emails with data from the current spreadsheet.
*/
function sendEmails2() {
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
SpreadsheetApp.setActiveSheet(sheet.getSheetByName('Data'))
var startRow = 2; // First row of data to process
// Fetch the range
var dataRange = sheet.getRange("L2:L1000")
var dataRange2 = sheet.getRange("K2:K1000")
var dataRange3 = sheet.getRange("O2:O1000")
var dataRange4 = sheet.getRange("Y2:Y1000")
var dataRange5 = sheet.getRange("B2:B1000")
// Fetch values for each row in the Range.
var data = dataRange.getValues();
var data2 = dataRange2.getValues();
var data3 = dataRange3.getValues();
var data4 = dataRange4.getValues();
var data5 = dataRange5.getValues();
for (var i = 0; i < data.length; ++i) {
var yesno = data2[i]
if(yesno == "Yes"){
var TFlogoUrl = "https://drive.google.com/openid=1nzmvP_zzOms1HiBoFCsVLFjDM6ZzM287";
var TFlogoBlob = UrlFetchApp
.fetch(TFlogoUrl)
.getBlob()
.setName("TFlogoBlob");
var emailAddress = data[i];
var ShipID = data3[i];
var cmdrID = data5[i];
var TFmsg = "Hi " + cmdrID + ",/n /nThank you for signing up to The Fatherhoods Lost Souls Expedition./n /nYour unique Ship ID is: " + ShipID + "/n /nWe look forward to seeing you on the expedition CMDR!/n /nFly Safe,/nThe Lost Souls Expedition team.";
var htmlTFmsg = "Hi " + cmdrID + ",<br> <br>Thank you for signing up to The Fatherhoods Lost Souls Expedition.<br> <br>Your unique Ship ID is: " + ShipID + "<br> <br>We look forward to seeing you on the expedition CMDR!<br> <br>Fly Safe,<br>The Lost Souls Expedition team.<br><img src='cid:TFlogo'>";
emailSent = data4[i]; // email sent (column Y)
if (emailSent != EMAIL_SENT) { // Prevents sending duplicates
var subject = "Lost Souls Expedition Sign up confirmation";
MailApp.sendEmail(emailAddress,subject,TFmsg,{
htmlBody: htmlTFmsg,
inlineImage:
{
TFlogo:TFlogoBlob
}
});
sheet.getRange("Y" + (startRow + i)).setValue(EMAIL_SENT);
// Make sure the cell is updated right away in case the script is interrupted
SpreadsheetApp.flush();
}
}
}
}
How about this modification?
Modification points:
You cannot retrieve the file blob from this URL var TFlogoUrl = "https://drive.google.com/openid=1nzmvP_zzOms1HiBoFCsVLFjDM6ZzM287";. If you want to retrieve the file blob from URL, please use var TFlogoUrl = "http://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1nzmvP_zzOms1HiBoFCsVLFjDM6ZzM287";. 1nzmvP_zzOms1HiBoFCsVLFjDM6ZzM287 is the file ID.
As an another method, from the file ID, it is found that the values of getSharingAccess() and getSharingPermission() are ANYONE_WITH_LINK and VIEW, respectively. So you can also retrieve the blob using var TFlogoBlob = DriveApp.getFileById("1nzmvP_zzOms1HiBoFCsVLFjDM6ZzM287").getBlob().setName("TFlogoBlob");. I recommend this.
When you want to use the inline image to email, please modify from inlineImage to inlineImages.
The script which reflected above points is as follows.
Modified script:
Please modify your script as follows.
From:
var TFlogoUrl = "https://drive.google.com/openid=1nzmvP_zzOms1HiBoFCsVLFjDM6ZzM287";
var TFlogoBlob = UrlFetchApp.fetch(TFlogoUrl).getBlob().setName("TFlogoBlob");
To:
var id = "1nzmvP_zzOms1HiBoFCsVLFjDM6ZzM287";
var TFlogoBlob = DriveApp.getFileById(id).getBlob().setName("TFlogoBlob");
And
From:
inlineImage: {TFlogo:TFlogoBlob}
To:
inlineImages: {TFlogo:TFlogoBlob}

If I misunderstand your question, please tell me. I would like to modify it.
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 posted this question on Google Sheets forum and was directed here for help.
*Please note that I am not a coder, I've just started working with things like this.
I've created a workbook with 3 pages. It's connected to a form, so as people submit their reviews the answers are collected on the first sheet, calculated on the second sheet, and any submission with an overall score higher than 3.9 has the email address moved to the third sheet where it will be sent a follow-up email.
Here is a link to a copy of the sheet:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/15p7_M4guRWCVHG-acRAheAROmh9t4wk3GWD_x0_rl90/edit?usp=sharing
It all works except the last page: I cannot figure out how to get the emails to send automatically as the sheet is updated. I've set the trigger to have it run when the sheet is updated, but to no avail - I have to manually go in and click the "Run" button to have the emails sent. (When I do, it pops up 'Failed to sent email: no recipient (line 21, file "Code")' but the emails are successfully delivered anyway.)
The formula I am using is this: (I have also tried swapping "sendEmails2" with "autoResponder" but that didn't change anything either.) Can anyone tell me what is wrong with it? Or is there a better way to automatically send the e-mails?
// This constant is written in column C for rows for which an email
// has been sent successfully.
var EMAIL_SENT = "EMAIL_SENT";
function sendEmails2() {
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
var startRow = 2; // First row of data to process
var numRows = 20000; // Number of rows to process
// Fetch the range of cells A2:B3
var dataRange = sheet.getRange(startRow, 1, numRows, 3)
// 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 emailAddress = row[0]; // First column
var message = row[1]; // Second column
var emailSent = row[2]; // Third column
if (emailSent != EMAIL_SENT) { // Prevents sending duplicates
var subject = "Sending emails from a Spreadsheet";
MailApp.sendEmail(emailAddress, subject, message);
sheet.getRange(startRow + i, 3).setValue(EMAIL_SENT);
// Make sure the cell is updated right away in case the script is
interrupted
SpreadsheetApp.flush();
}
}
}
This should do it:
function sendEmails2(){
var ss=SpreadsheetApp.getActive();
var sh=ss.getSheetByName('Automatic Emails');
var rg=sh.getRange(2,1,sh.getLastRow(), 3);
var vA=rg.getValues();
for (var i=0;i<vA.length;i++){
var emailAddress = vA[i][0];
var message = vA[i][1];
var emailSent = vA[i][2];
var subject = "Sending emails from a Spreadsheet";
if(emailSent != 'EMAIL_SENT'){
MailApp.sendEmail(emailAddress, subject, message);
sh.getRange(2 + i,3).setValue('EMAIL_SENT');
}
}
}
Don't forget the onFormSubmit:
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.
After taking a look at the provided tutorial for sending emails from a spreadsheet with Google Apps Script, I modified the given code with aims to be able to send the set of emails out with attachments as well.
It works well enough, even with a couple quirks from the limitations of Google Apps Script (the files have to be in the Google Drive, and all files in the Google Drive with whichever name is appropriate are taken from all folders in the drive).
function sendEmails() {
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
var startRow = 2; // First row of data to process
var numRows = 1; // Number of rows to process
// Fetch the range of cells A2:C3
var dataRange = sheet.getRange(startRow, 1, numRows, 3)
// Fetch values for each row in the Range.
var data = dataRange.getValues();
for (i in data) {
var row = data[i];
var emailAddress = row[0]; // First column
var message = row[1]; // Second column
var attachment = row[2]; // File name provided.
var subject = "Mass Email";
var files = DriveApp.getFilesByName(attachment); // Get all files with name.
var blobs = []; // Array for attachment.
// Move files into blobs
while (files.hasNext()) {
var file = files.next();
blobs.push(file.getAs(MimeType.PLAIN_TEXT));
}
MailApp.sendEmail(emailAddress, subject, message, {
attachments: blobs, // add attachments
cc: "extra#email.com" // CC to employer
});
}
}
After I first used it, however, I learned that I need to send the files not as attachments, but as the message body of the emails, among some other changes (this is for work). That is, I will only ever email one 'attachment' at a time to each email, and instead of that file being an attachment, its content should be copied over to the message of the email. The attachments are currently text files, and I'd like them to stay that way, but it isn't the most vital thing.
I cannot determine a way to do this with Google Apps Script. Is this possible, or will I have to have a different way of emailing these files? (Hopefully not by hand.)
Try this. It's more faster and simpler.
var docContent = file.getBlob().getDataAsString();
Logger.log(docContent);
as mentioned in my last comment, converting your .txt files to Google documents makes it easy to achieve.
see below (suggestion)
function sendEmails() {
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
var startRow = 2; // First row of data to process
var numRows = 1; // Number of rows to process
// Fetch the range of cells A2:C3
var dataRange = sheet.getRange(startRow, 1, numRows, 3)
// Fetch values for each row in the Range.
var data = dataRange.getValues();
for (i in data) {
var row = data[i];
Logger.log(row)
var emailAddress = row[0]; // First column
var message = row[1]; // Second column
var attachment = row[2]; // File name provided.
var subject = "Mass Email";
var files = DriveApp.getFilesByName(attachment); // Get all files with name.
while (files.hasNext()) {
var file = files.next();
var Id = file.getId();
var content = DocumentApp.openById(Id).getBody().getText();
Logger.log(content)
MailApp.sendEmail(emailAddress, subject, message+'\n'+content)
}
}
}
