Google_form_notifier is a project mainly written in JAVASCRIPT and RUBY, it's free.
Maintained in https://github.umn.edu/asrweb/google_form_notifier A Google Apps Script that sends an email to an arbitrary list of recipients any time a Google Form is submitted. The notification email contains a summary of the completed form and can
GoogleFormNotifier is a simple Google Apps Script that can be installed
on any Google Spreadsheets form to notify an arbitrary list of people upon
form submission. The email that is generated is an HTML summary of the form
data submitted.
This script depends on Handlebars.js and
Underscore.js. The
google_form_notifier-bundled.js file has these dependencies
pre-packaged and minified. If you're going to be doing development on
this script, you may need to make sure these are loaded and available.
Before you add this script, create a new sheet and name it 'Notification list' (case-sensitive). Add the email addresses you want to notify in the first column of this sheet.
To use this script, place it on a web server that you control or trust (notice
the eval) and include it into your Google Apps script like so:
eval(UrlFetchApp.fetch('http://example.com/google_form_notifier-0.9.0-bundled.js').getContentText());The first time you try to use this script, you'll have to fake-out Google by adding these lines and authorizing the functionality:
// Temporarily uncomment these lines to "authorize" the funcationality.
//
// SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheetByName("blah");
// MailApp.sendEmail("[email protected], "blah", "blah");
// Utilities.jsonStringify({"blah":"blahblah"});
// SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getOwner().getEmail();Click the 'Run' button in the script editor and Google will pop up a message to authorize the actions. Click 'authorize' and then comment these lines back out or delete them.
After these functions have been authorized, you can use the GoogleFormNotifier
object. Just add a function to handle the onSubmit trigger:
function onSubmit(evt) {
GoogleFormNotifier.notify(evt);
}If you're going to hack on this script, you'll want to circumvent Google Apps' caching by adding a random number to the url string:
eval(UrlFetchApp.fetch('http://example.com/google_form_notifier.js?' + Math.random().toString()).getContentText());If you want to contribute, consider these possible TODOs:
