Using AppSript to capture form submits to a google sheet

This takes the input of a regular HTML form and when the submit occurs, sends the data to a web-app published via AppScript to a google form. Email is also triggered to the listed email-ids with all the information in the GET

Dependancies

• jQuery

Steps:

1. Setup Form and copy script.js
2. Make sure that jQuery is setup before script.js
3. Make a google sheet
4. On google sheet go to Tools -> <>Script Editor
5. Copy all the files in the gs folder
   1. Go to get_request_to_sheets.gs and run setup => allow permissions
   2. Go to email.gs and run email() => allow permissions
   3. Change ToEmail in email.gs to the list of people you want the email to go to.
6. Publish -> web app
   1. Who has access to the app -> anyone, even anonymous
   2. get the url and paste it into script.js

Improvements:

• Handle error and success and show corresponding messages
• Built a better HTML form (Maybe using Bootstrap)
