One day, you might have a situation where you are required to update a sheet using Google Apps Script when the cell values retrieved by IMPORTRANGE are changed. This report introduces a workaround for achieving this situation.

Introduction

Google Apps Script can be executed by several triggers. Ref When a cell in a Google Spreadsheet is manually edited, a function of Google Apps Script can be executed by detecting this edit. In most cases, the OnEdit trigger trigger of the simple trigger or the installable trigger is used. When the OnEdit trigger is used, a function can be executed by manually editing a cell. When the function is executed, the function can be run by giving the event object including the information about the edited cell.

This report introduces the method for retrieving the Emoji reactions from the comments in Google Docs files (Google Documents, Google Slides, and Google Spreadsheets) using Google Apps Script.

Introduction

Recently, the Emoji reactions have been implemented in the comments on Google Docs files (Google Documents, Google Slides, and Google Spreadsheets). Ref With this implementation, the collaborative work has been higher. Here, it is considered that when the Emoji reactions can be retrieved from the Google Docs files, the statistics of the reactions will be also more useful for increasing collaboration. This report introduces a sample script for retrieving Comments including the Emoji reactions from Google Docs files.

One day, you might have a situation where you are required to create a Web Apps with Google Apps Script and are required to load another HTML created by Javascript on the Web Apps. This report will help achieve such a situation.

Introduction

Google Apps Script can create Web Apps. Ref When you access the Web Apps using your browser, you can see the HTML. When your browser can run Javascript, you can see the HTML reflecting the Javascript. The Web Apps created by Google Apps Script is one of the important and useful cloud applications. About the Web Apps, you have a situation where it is required to insert another HTML to the current HTML. And, another HTML might be required to be created by Javascript including the HTML. However, it is difficult a little to find detailed information about this. This report introduces a simple sample script for achieving such a situation.

One day, you might have a situation where it is required to run Google Apps Script using the service account. Unfortunately, in the current stage, Google Apps Script cannot be directly run with the service account because of the current specification. So, this report introduces a workaround for executing Google Apps Script using the service account.

Introduction

When you want to execute Google Apps Script from outside of Google, as the basic approach, it can be achieved by Google Apps Script API. Ref In order to use Google Apps Script, it is required to link the Google Apps Script project with the Google Cloud Platform project. Ref But, in the current stage, Google Apps Script can be executed by Google Apps Script API with only the access token obtained from OAuth2. Unfortunately, the access token obtained by the service account cannot used for executing Google Apps Script using Google Apps Script API. It seems that this is the current specification on the Google side. However, there might be a case that it is required to execute Google Apps Script using the service account. In this report, I would like to introduce a workaround for executing Google Apps Script using the service account. In this workaround, the Web Apps created by Google Apps Script is used. The Web Apps can be used for executing the preserved functions of doGet and doPost from outside of Google. Ref In this workaround, this Web Apps is used for executing the various functions.

HtmlFormApp was updated to v1.0.2.

  1. The 2nd argument row of appendFormData(object, row) was added. This is from this suggestion. When row is used, the value is put into the specific row of the Spreadsheet. In this case, please set the value of row more than 1.

     • In this case, the submitted row can be forcefully put into the specific row of Google Spreadsheet. So, when you run appendFormData(object, row) by the constant value of row, the submitted row is put into the same row. Please be careful about this.

Overview

This is a Google Apps Script library for managing the histories of the Google Apps Script project.

Description

On August 23, 2023, the project history has been implemented in the new IDE of Google Apps Script. Ref and Ref In the current stage, the users can see the history of the previously deployed script version. This is a very important implementation for a lot of developers.

Here, I remember the classic IDE. In the case of the classic IDE, the users had been able to see the previously saved script version regardless of the deployment and just the save of the script. This is not implemented in the new IDE. I would like to expect that this will be implemented in the future update.

Introduction

This is a report for taking advantage of the auto-completion of the script editor for Google Apps Script.

In the current stage, the auto-completion is implemented in the script editor of Google Apps Script. This auto-completion can be used for not only the built-in classes and methods but also the methods for Javascript. This helps develop scripts and applications very much. In the case of the built-in classes and methods and the methods for Javascript, you can see the detailed specifications of the documents like the official documents and developer.mozilla.org.
