// Usage | |
// 1. Enter sheet name where data is to be written below | |
var SHEET_NAME = "Form responses 1"; | |
// 2. Run > setup | |
// | |
// 3. Publish > Deploy as web app | |
// - enter Project Version name and click 'Save New Version' | |
// - set security level and enable service (most likely execute as 'me' and access 'anyone, even anonymously) | |
// | |
// 4. Copy the 'Current web app URL' and post this in your form/script action | |
// | |
// 5. Insert column names on your destination sheet matching the parameter names of the data you are passing in (exactly matching case) | |
var SCRIPT_PROP = PropertiesService.getScriptProperties(); // new property service | |
// If you don't want to expose either GET or POST methods you can comment out the appropriate function | |
