Script to Generate PDF from Google Form Submission - google-apps-script

Question

I'd previously written a script for a google sheet that triggered when its related google form had a form submitted. When the form was submitted, a PDF would generate and be emailed to the designated person. I created a new version to auto-generate a Digital Millennium Copyright Act notice, but something seems to not work with the script anymore (the original isn't working anymore either) and I can't figure out how to fix it.
The error I'm getting is TypeError: Cannot read property 'range' of undefined (line 2, file "Code")
9/28/2021 I added console.log(rg.getA1Notation()) to the code as instructed and submitted a form. The Execution log for it shows me the below -
Code below -
const rg = e.range;
console.log(rg.getA1Notation());
const sh = rg.getSheet();
//Get all the form submitted data
const Email= e.namedValues['Email Address'][0];
const LinkOrig = e.namedValues['Link(s) for where the original work appears'][0];
const AttachOrig = e.namedValues['Copies of the original copyrighted work'][0];
const Domain = e.namedValues['Infringing Domain'][0];
const LinkInfring = e.namedValues['Link(s) for where infringing image appears online'][0];
const Contact = e.namedValues['Contact Information'][0];
const WHOIS = e.namedValues['WHOIS Search results'][0];
const Date = e.namedValues['Date'][0];
const Location = e.namedValues['Where are you based?'][0];
//Build a new DMCA Form from the template
//Folder ID (save destination) and file IDs (template ID + new doc ID)
const DMCAFolderID = 'googledrivefolderidhere';
const DMCALibFolder = DriveApp.getFolderById(DMCAFolderID);
const TemplateFileID = 'googledrivetemplateidhere';
const newFilename = 'DMCA Notice -' + TemplateFileID + 'Domain';
//Make a copy of the template file
const newTemplateFileID = DriveApp.getFileById(TemplateFileID).makeCopy(newFilename, DMCALibFolder).getId();;
//Get the DMCA Notice body into a variable
var document = DocumentApp.openById(newTemplateFileID);
var body = document.getBody();
//Replace all the {{ }} text in the BlinkLib body
body.replaceText('{{LinkOrig}}', LinkOrig);
// body.replaceText('{{AttachOrig}}', AttachOrig);
body.replaceText('{{LinkInfring}}', LinkInfring);
body.replaceText('{{ContactInfo}}', Contact);
body.replaceText('{{WHOISResults}}', WHOIS);
body.replaceText('{{date}}', Date);
body.replaceText('{{location}}', Location);
document.saveAndClose();
// define email variables
var subject = 'DMCA Notice - ' + Domain;
var msgHtml =
"Hi " + Name + "," + "<br/>" + "<br/>" +
"Please find your DMCA Notice attached." + "<br/>" + "<br/>" +
"Sincerely," + "<br/>" +
"Your Bada** Self" + "<br/>"
;
var attachment = DriveApp.getFileById(newTemplateFileID);
//send email with the file
GmailApp.sendEmail(Email, subject, msgHtml, {htmlBody: msgHtml, attachments: [attachment.getAs(MimeType.PDF)]});
} ```

Cannot read property 'range' of undefined indicates that you are trying to run your code manually
However, const rg = e.range; indicates that you are retrieving the range as an event object - which can be retrieved only when a trigger fires
Summary:
When using event objects like e.range you cannot run your code manually, you need to let the execution be triggered automatically. This implies that your funciton is being called on a trigger - e.g. an onEdit trigger.
