 * In order to enable this script, follow these steps:
 * 
 * From your Google Sheet, from the "Exstensions" menu select "App Script"…
 * Paste the script from this gist into the script code editor and hit Save.
 * From the "Deploy" menu, select Deploy as web app…
 * Choose to execute the app as yourself, and allow Anyone, even anonymous to execute the script. (Note: depending on your Google Apps instance, this option may not be available. You will need to contact your Google Apps administrator, or else use a Gmail account.)
 * Now click Deploy. You may be asked to review permissions now.
 * The URL that you get will be the webhook that you can use in your elementor form, You can test this webhook in your browser first by pasting it.
 * It will say "Yepp this is the webhook URL, request received".
 * Last all you have to do is set up and Elementor Pro Form with a form name and Webhook action pointing to the URL from above.
 *
 * Update: 09/06/2022
 *  - Name the sheet: you can now add a field (could be hidden) to your form labeled "e_gs_SheetName" and set the defualt value to the name of the sheet you want to use.
 *  - Set the Order: you can now add a form field (hidden) labeled "e_gs_order" and set its defualt value to the names of the columns you want to seperated by comma in the order you want, any other colum not in that list will be added after.
 *  - Exclude Columns: you can now add a field (could be hidden) labeled "e_gs_exclude" and set its value to the names of the columns you want to exclude seperated by comma.

Too bad this doesn't work for me. did anyone get it to work and can share the new code?

@Karenelle The code works!
Not sure how to help. Github doesn’t provide a private message service or something, right?

Thanks :)) @ariako
I managed to find a other code that worked for me. so I'm fine.. thank you for the comment :)

@kerenelle Can you share the link?

Unfortunately it doesn't work for me.

Script function not found: doGet

Same here :(
Script function not found: doGet

working perfectly here thanks!
I would like to know if it is possible to delete the form_id, form_name and some other form fields if necessary

Hello guys, I'm getting a doGet error, the form is being submitted successfully, but the script is not working.

what can I do to avoid this error?

@menidjel

Please make sure this option is unchecked and try again

I love this script, I have used it a bunch of times and it works like a charm!!

Now that I added Piotnet forms to my web - in order to create more complex forms - the webhook is no longer pulling data - it creates new empty sheets and that's basically it - is there a way or an additional code to make the webhook work? piotnet forms + elementor pro + google sheets.

Thanksss!!

doesn't work on me :( the google sheet is blank.

how can we get a notification in every new submission?

Also me not working please any idea?

Also me not working please any idea?

I just used it following the exact directions from the script and it works like a charm

It worked very well for me. Awsome job. thank you

how can i sort the headers in the order they appear in the form? headers are not loaded in their original order.

Thanks for the solution

Thanks for the solution

Have you find any solution for sorting the order?

Hi all, :)

The script is live and kicking, I just refactored the code with a more modern version and added a few enhancements:

• Name the sheet: You can now add a field (could be hidden) to your form labeled e_gs_SheetName and set the default value to the name of the sheet you want to use.
• Set the Order: you can now add a form field (hidden) labeled e_gs_order and set its default value to the names of the columns you want to separated by comma in the order you want, any other column not in that list will be added after.
• Exclude Columns: you can now add a field (could be hidden) labeled e_gs_exclude and set its default value to the names of the columns you want to exclude separated by comma.

Other than that you can exclude columns by simply hiding them in the sheet and you can set the order once manually via the sheets UI.

Enjoy.

How to ordering column in spreadsheet? I have try & not work.

I was facing a problem where only the first lead worked, because it created the spreadsheet, while the second tried to create a spreadsheet that already existed and then failed. fixed it with a small change

`const insertToSheet = ( data ) => {
const flat = flattenObject( data ),
keys = Object.keys( flat ),
formSheet = getFormSheet( getSheetName( data ) ),
headers = getHeaders( formSheet, keys ),
values = getValues( headers, flat );

if(isNewSheet) {
setHeaders( formSheet, headers );
}

setValues( formSheet, values );

if ( emailNotification ) {
sendNotification( data, getSheetURL() );
}
}
`

Works Perfectly.

Just check and update the data with yours.

Can you add time and date for the submitted Form?thanks

Thanks :)) @ariako I managed to find a other code that worked for me. so I'm fine.. thank you for the comment :)

Can you share the code please

Thank you so much
It works perfect

Can you add time and date for the submitted Form?thanks

@Welisagita any luck with getting a timestamp code to add to this?

Hi Guys, I added the timestamp in the code, can you guys try please?
Here is working:

Remember to change the format of the column of data

@paulohmaciel I had no luck implementing the new code into my spreadsheet and getting a timestamp column to be created.

How can I implement it, I do everything in the steps and the spreadsheet is not created.
Does anyone have any updated code that works?

Como puedo implementarlo, hago todo lo que esta en los pasos y no se crea la hoja de calculo.

Hello, I tried to do it, but in the messages of the element form or it tells me that the form is invalid, but if it adds the data, I don't know why that is.

Thanks :)) @ariako I managed to find a other code that worked for me. so I'm fine.. thank you for the comment :)

please share with me other code

@bainternet
This works great!!!
Thank you very much, this really helped me.
Can you help me with something else?
Is there a code that will create another copy of the sheet? One sheet will be the data that will be entered from the form
..and the second sheet will be a copy of the data, and there we can mark what was processed and what was not,
