* 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.
