I feel like this should be so easy and obvious, but I cannot figure it out...
I am working with 2 forms and 2 spreadsheets. Form 1 submits to Sheet 1. On Sheet 1, for each record, there is a link that takes the user to Form 2, which is half pre-populated with data from Sheet 1. When the user submits Form 2, it populates Sheet 2.
I have a couple of scripts that are supposed to be triggered when Form 1 is submitted. I am using the "From Spreadsheet" "OnFormSubmit" trigger. The scripts, however, are also triggering when Form 2 is submitted.
How can I make it so the scripts only execute when Form 1 is submitted? Also, is there a way to ensure that scripts trigger in a specific order?
If it helps, the scripts are below. They all work properly as is, except for the triggering issue. I know that I can merge the 2nd and 3rd script, and I will, but I'd like to fix this triggering issue first, as I'm getting double the emails every time I test.
1st script:
function onFormSubmit(e) {
//Uses time in milleseconds to create unique ID #
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var sheet = ss.getSheetByName("ComplaintLog");
var d = new Date();
var n = d.getTime();
var lastRow = sheet.getLastRow();
var cell = sheet.getRange("BA" + lastRow);
cell.setValue(n);
var cell = sheet.getRange("BB" + lastRow);
cell.setFormula("=right(BA"+lastRow+",6)");
sheet.getRange("BB"+lastRow).copyTo(sheet.getRange("BC"+lastRow), +
{contentsOnly:true});
}
2nd script:
function formSubmitReply(e) {
//Sends email to certain users when a new complaint has been entered
var emailAddresses = 'person@organzation.com';
MailApp.sendEmail(emailAddresses,
"person@organzation.com",
"New Guest Complaint",
"A new guest complaint has been entered into the database."
+ "\n\n To vew the database, click here: http://goo.gl/DI33EC");
}
3rd script:
function createResolutionForm() {
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActive()
var sheet = ss.getSheetByName("ComplaintLog")
var lastRow = sheet.getLastRow();
var data = ss.getSheetByName("ComplaintLog") +
.getRange("A"+lastRow+":Z"+lastRow).getValues();
var form = FormApp.openById('The form's ID goes here. that part works.');
var items = form.getItems();
for (var i = 0; i < data.length; i++) {
var formResponse = form.createResponse();
//ID
var formItem = items[1].asTextItem();
var response = formItem.createResponse(data[i][0]);
formResponse.withItemResponse(response);
//Guest Name
var formItem = items[2].asTextItem();
var response = formItem.createResponse(data[i][3]);
formResponse.withItemResponse(response);
//email
var formItem = items[3].asTextItem();
var response = formItem.createResponse(data[i][4]);
formResponse.withItemResponse(response);
// The pre-populated form is being created here. I didn't include every
// form item for brevity's sake.
}
//Create Link
var formUrl = formResponse.toPrefilledUrl();
//Enable Clickable ID
var idNum = sheet.getRange("BC"+lastRow).getValues();
sheet.getRange("A"+lastRow).setFormula +
('=HYPERLINK("' + formUrl + '","' + idNum + '")');
var sheetUrl = "The URL to the spreadsheet goes here - that part works.";
//Send Email to assigned managers
var j,tempname=[],name, subject, managername, message;
managername = sheet.getRange("P"+lastRow).getValue();
tempname=managername.split(" ");
Logger.log(managername)
if (tempname.length==2) {
name=tempname[0].slice(0,1) + tempname[1] + '@organization.com';
subject = 'Action Required';
var message = "<html><body>"
+ "<p> You have been assigned to follow-up on a complaint,"
+ "or your contact information has been given to a customer in"
+ "regards to a complaint."
+ "<p><p>The complaint ID number is " + idNum +"."
+ "<p>To go directly to this complaint,"
+ "<a href="+formUrl+"><b>click here</b></a>."
+ "<p>To vew the database so that you can take action,"
+<a href="+sheetUrl+">click here</a>."
+ "</body></html>";
MailApp.sendEmail(name, subject,"",{htmlBody : message});
}
}
Setting up the triggers from within the script might be what you're looking for. You can create triggers that respond to form submission events on a per-form basis like so:
function setup () {
ScriptApp.newTrigger('onForm1ResponseHandler').forForm(form1).onFormSubmit().create();
ScriptApp.newTrigger('onForm2ResponseHandler').forForm(form2).onFormSubmit().create();
}
where form1 and form2 are Form objects and 'onForm1ResponseHandler' is the name of the handler function.
With a handler function set up like this:
function onForm1ResponseHandler (e) {
...
}
e
will be an object with properties documented here (for the Form Submit event).
