Google Forms to PDF & Email while storing data in Google Sheets 

I have no formal tech training but have been designated the tech person for a small non-profit and needed to do exactly what this tutorial does in a needed it done last week time frame. Thank you for making these videos. They are a lifesaver.

Dude, you have absolutely no idea about how much easier my life has become since I found you. Of course it takes a little bit of time and brains to understand what you are explaining and adapt it to my specific needs (I'm no programmer), however... the time that this automations are earning me is countless,. My life is much easier now thanks to you. Thank you my friend, please, keep up the good work, we need you, hahaha :)

With a little work, I was able to use this basic outline, modify it a little, and create an actual working invoice I can create from my phone that is ready to email without having to be near a printer and computer. I can now create an invoice immediately and email when I have finished the work order. Thanks for the video's... so much better than other YT channels.

The best part of this, aside from all these cool stuff, is how we were able to see the thought process of it all. Plus the troubleshooting bits really gave it an approachable feel. I feel confident I can do this.

You make me feel like I'm the best coder 😄 It worked so much for my work. I create order form. No more losting papers. Thank you

I want to sincerely thank you for all of these tutorials. I got my degree last year and have been working with Google suite for several years now and just scored my first freelance programming job building an application in Google suite for a company

This was AMAZING! It's the first time I've ever had no errors in my code. Thanks so much. I also appreciate how you didn't edit out your troubleshooting. That helped!

Thanks a ton for making this very useful video. This covered a lot of use cases and opened a ton of possibilities for future projects!! Quick tip for anyone who is facing the issue where google doc is getting created with values from form but the PDF doesnt reflect it, you can just add this line below before creating the PDF ie, last line of the createPDF() openDoc.saveAndClose(); const pdfFile = pdfFolder.createFile(blobPDF).setName("My PDF");

You have unlocked Pandora's box of creativity for me. Thank for teaching us🙏

I've tried and this is awesome. For me this method has create a paperless system for my work. Awesome..!!! Definetely going to learn alot from this channel. Keep up the good work.👍🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

This is exactly what I needed! I am so proud of myself. I was able to follow along and using the Google App Script Reference you showed I was able to have it send as my alias and add an additional email to send the file to myself too! I will be doing more of your tutorials to learn more. And I have little to none Java Script knowledge.

Excellent video, very good explanations with all the necessary details to understand simply and quickly. Congratulations and thank you for the remarkable quality of your knowledge sharing.

I really like this one!!!

Great Video, thank's David

very useful, as i was searching this from since many time but it seems i wasn't having option other than an add-on, but you have done a grate job brother, thanks for this video !!

Thanks Mate! You have been a very big help.

Thank you so much ! I have a question : When a form es edited and resubmitted. The namedvalues code only returns the modified values, there is a way to get all the values of the current row and execute the pdf creation? I Will be very grateful for your response ! Thank you !

Awesome!!

Awesome! Plese don't get tired of doing more videos like this! Maybe you can share the script as well? Heh. :)

Thank you very much for your tutorial. As of the present (2023), some methods in the code cannot be used, such as the "removeFile" function, which can be replaced by using the "setTrashed(true)" method.

Great tutorial! Very useful! What changes would you do at the script if instead of Google Docs, the template was Google Slides?

You rock, man!

Awesome

Great! Thanks!

Wowwwww, just amazing! Thanks a lot!

Man, you are THE guy. Yhank you so much. That will change my life. hahaha. Brilliant!

Fantastic! Thanks a lot for this! I already followed along with the create bulk PDF docs tutorial, and it worked like a charm! Then came here looking for triggers to make the script run automatically. This looks very very close to what I am looking for. However, I have one question. The Google Sheet from where I am pulling data into the Google Doc and converting to PDF is not connected to a Google Form. It is actually connected to Piotnet Forms on my WordPress website. Will this script run with a formSubmit trigger if it is not connected specifically to a Google Form? If not, can you please suggest a workaround if possible?

You are amazing! You know your stuff. I like how you basically say "I'm going to do this and let's see how we do that". I noticed your permissions was causing drama to send the email. Would it be that the user of the form would have those permissions come up on their end and have to give permission too? I imagine it should be. Cheers

Many Many thanks.its working..

This was awesome! Learned so much!

Perfect bro. You helped me a lot

Muito bom vídeo!!!Aprendi muito com esse tutorial. Obrigado!!!!!

THANK YOU SO MUCH!

This is awesome, congrats... I have a question, do u have a tutorial to do the same, but instead a doc template using a sheet? nos using text, just the range of the sheet. Thank U!

wow thaank you ... well ... the slowmo guys would be very useful here ...

TriggerEvent step seems to have changed since you made this video. Google sheet form submit event shows a caution message “make sure you use this form submit trigger with SpreadsheetTriggerBuilder”. I am unable to pass googlesheet info data - that comes from google form - to google doc variables using event trigger. Any advise?

Excelente muchas gracias por su ayuda, que mi Dios lo bendiga por siempre. 🙏

Great video ! Thank you. Your projects are so easy to follow, and you make the learning easy. Any change you could do a video tutorial on how to gather form data like this but from an externally hosted HTML web form and populate a google sheet? This is a use case I would often like to use. Once again thanks for fabulous easy learning tutorials. :)

Thank you for your sharing. It is very helpful for set up the Google form to pdf. Is it possible to use a spreadsheet instead of a document as template? 🤔 Does this replace text functions still work on the spreadsheet?

Thanks again - I was also wondering if send email trigger can be put in place when a cell is populated manually in google sheets - i.e. when you manually enter a test result in the cell it will trigger to populate the PDF & then it will send an email with attached PDF to the person in the row...much appreciated

Thank you for this video. I learned a lot! I'm just wondering how about the google form requires to submit an image and the image will be used in google docs. I'm currently working with an Application Form that needs photo. Thank you

Excelent video as always! How about trying to switch between different document templates?

Thank you so much Chi! say I want to get an image uploaded in the form, should I use the mime type 'image'?

Very useful, nicely done. Can you make a video of sending confirmation on form submit with results preview?

Thanks. Couldn't be easier than this...

Oh man, this makes my life easy

On Line 18 you have get file by ID. Is there any way that could be get active file instead? I have multiple documents that the user selects to use (which they select 1st) then fill in the form that i hope to get the ws to populate the pdf data

VERY BRILIANT !!!

Thank you so much sir

MAY BE ONE DAY I HAVE THE HONOUR OF MEETING YOU..

Tks so much ....

Thank you , its wonderful !!! Question- when I make the same form "edit response " and submit , it will fill in PDF only edited fields, not edited- will insert as blank , how do I deal with that to make them to pick up old values and fill in new PDF ?

Hi! What should I change in the code if I want to attach two pdfs. The first one being the customized one in the sheets and the other one is a uniform pdf for all?

Great video. Do you have a video on creating a pdf from the sheet you are working on and emailing that multiple people?

Thx Ill try it

Hi, I just used this video, and I have created a proper notification system, add as many emails to notify (through google forms), and create the log with google sheets. Great stuff. Thank you, I just want to create a customized subject for my emails using the google docs {} in my template. Can that be done?

Thanks bro 😍

that's awesome! well i do have a question , how do i replaceText in the createPDF method when i have added a column with lets say a SUM ? when the form is submitted , it inserts a row in the sheet , so i made another sheet2 with the main columns and some extras , how do I use these extra column content with the replaceText?

Great video I love the simple step by step detail! Is there a way to add multiple quantities to different items for instance if I had a form where people ordered different types of shirts how could I program it to make a pdf that would capture 3 red and 2 blue shirts?

Finally, script is working fine.

Thank you.. 🤝

This is very useful video for me, Now I have one requirement that on the basis of data entered by this form I am bringing some values in additional column form restored data but I am not able to pick values of those columns using info object. Can we do this? Eg. I have added a dropdown of Form submitter Jhon, Mike, Cali, getting there emails id from form, but while sending emails then I want to keep their superior into copy and that I am bringing using look-up function. But I am able to get only data submitted by the form.

cheeers!!! thankyou

Thank you ver much Sir. I was looking for this for a long time. I don't know the coding, but i still managed to follow the tutorial and create the mail merge as given in the tutorial. One request to you Sir, please also show how to merge the images uploaded through the forms in the doc and finally in pdf. I collect the information of my newly admitted students via google forms in which, I also collect there photos(images). So please provide next part of this tutorial in which there will be solution for merging the images in pdf. With regards.

Hi @ExcelGoogleSheets, I hope that you are doing very well! I made the script as you presented it, and was working very well, but at the momment it seems to have two problems, and maybe you have some information about them. 1) It seems that the "Class File" from Apps Script, the method "removeFile" used at the end of the script "tempFolder.removeFile(newTempFile); " isn't anymore supported, it appears crossed over in .gs . Could you recomend other method to do the same part of the script? And my second question, I receive this message of error: "TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'namedValues')" on the constant declaration, line 3: "const info = e.namedValues;" in the function declaration. Do you have the seame error message? Many thanks for your help!

This was great thank you so much - it would be great if you can advise the code at the end of how we can password protect the PDF file so it can't be edited but you can print ONLY please

Amazing content! Can you please do a video with an uploading image? Exemple employers data and pic. I use gsuite files only work on my domain is that a problem to generate pdf with the pic?
