how to make this template code work from sheets app - google-apps-script

I'm trying to make this script to work on google sheets app so it sends a pdf copy to my email when I type Send in cell L6
the code work perfect on computer but not on ipads , anyway to do this from app ?
function onEdit2(e) {
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
var r = sheet.getRange('L6').getValue();
if (r == "Send") {
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet()
var ssID = ss.getId();
var sheetgId = ss.getActiveSheet().getSheetId();
var sheetName = ss.getName();
var token = ScriptApp.getOAuthToken();
var email = "EMAIL HERE";
var subject = "Daily report ";
var body = "Please find the attached Daily report";
var url = "https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/"+ssID+"/export?"
+ "format=xlsx" + "&gid="+sheetgId+ "&portrait=true" +
"&exportFormat=pdf";
var result = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url, {
headers: {
'Authorization': 'Bearer ' + token
}
});
var contents = result.getContent();
MailApp.sendEmail(email,subject ,body, {
attachments: [{
fileName: sheetName + ".pdf",
content: contents,
mimeType: "application//pdf"
}]
})
}
}

The way it worked for me by " installed Trigger "
from the script editor : Edit - current project Triggers
I added new trigger that will run the code below based on " On edit " and voila it worked , from sheets app if I typed " Send " in Cell L6 it will send a PDF copy of the active sheet to the email listed in the code.
function onEdit2(e) {
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
var r = sheet.getRange('L6').getValue();
if (r == "Send") {
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet()
var ssID = ss.getId();
var sheetgId = ss.getActiveSheet().getSheetId();
var sheetName = ss.getName();
var token = ScriptApp.getOAuthToken();
var email = "EMAIL HERE";
var subject = "Daily report ";
var body = "Please find the attached Daily report";
var url = "https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/"+ssID+"/export?"
+ "format=xlsx" + "&gid="+sheetgId+ "&portrait=true" +
"&exportFormat=pdf";
var result = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url, {
headers: {
'Authorization': 'Bearer ' + token
}
});
var contents = result.getContent();
MailApp.sendEmail(email,subject ,body, {
attachments: [{
fileName: sheetName + ".pdf",
content: contents,
mimeType: "application//pdf"
}]
})
}
}

Create a Google Script in the very same Spreadsheet or in another one (Tools / Script editor), add the script you already have, grant the authorizations required, and trigger it with a simple form (Tools / Create a form) (trigger → Edit / Current project's triggers). The long URL to view the form can be easily opened by means of a URL shortener or something by the sort. Forms work in cell phones too and without need to sign in to your account. With this method you can even add a useless conditional password to run the script.
function createPDF(e) {
var input = e.values[1];
if (input == 'my_password'){
// your scripts to create and send the PDF goes here
}
}
It's a simplistic solution, but it works.

Google sheet script suddenly stops working and fails to send email attachment due to attachment authentication failure

Software: Google Sheets & Google App Script
Hi all,
I have been sending test emails to myself with attachments from my google sheet. They have been going great. Then I hop on one day and start receiving authentication errors. I have tried several different fixes but I'm still stuck. I'm not sure why it broke if I didn't change anything. Anyways, I'm changing stuff now to try and fix it.
It will let me send plain emails, but when I try to attach pdf's or xsls files, it fails. This was working great until it stopped working... Setting 'muteHttpExceptions' : true, allows the email to send, but the attachments are empty / corrupt.
Do you know of a better way to send specific sheets via email as pdf's or perhaps a way to fix this?
Code:
function SampleEmail() {
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet()
var ssID = ss.getId();
var sheetgId = ss.getActiveSheet().getSheetId();
var sheetName = ss.getName();
var email = "test#gmail.com";
var subject = "Important Info!";
var body = "Test email.";
var url = "https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/" + ssID + "/export?" + "format=pdf" + "&gid=" + sheetgId + "&portrait=true" + "&exportFormat=pdf";
var token = ScriptApp.getOAuthToken();
var result = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url, {
headers: {
'Authorization': 'Bearer ' + token
},
'muteHttpExceptions': false
});
var contents = result.getContent();
GmailApp.sendEmail(email, subject, body, { attachments: [{ fileName: sheetName + ".pdf", content: contents, mimeType: "application//pdf" }] });
}
Error message:

SOLUTION: (Thank you #Amit_Singh for the advice.)
Try running this function to send your google sheet as a pdf to your google drive. This cleared the cache or something with the getOAuthToken() for me and allowed the original script to authenticate and send email attachments properly. Here is the function:
function convertSheetToPDF() {
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet()
var ssID = ss.getId();
var sheetgId = ss.getActiveSheet().getSheetId();
var sheetId = sheetgId; // "2SqIXLiic6-gjI2KwQ6OIgb-erbl3xqzohRgE06bfj2c";
var spreadsheetName = "My Spreadsheet";
var destination = DriveApp.createFolder('new folder');
//var destination = DriveApp.getFolderById("1vFL98cgKdMHLNLSc542pUt4FMRTthUvL");
//var url = "https://docs.google.com/feeds/download/spreadsheets/Export?key=" + sheetId + "&exportFormat=xlsx";
var url = "https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/" + ssID + "/export?" + "format=pdf" + "&gid=" + sheetgId + "&portrait=true" + "&exportFormat=pdf";
var params = {
method: "get",
headers: { "Authorization": "Bearer " + ScriptApp.getOAuthToken() },
muteHttpExceptions: false
};
var blob = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url, params).getBlob();
blob.setName(spreadsheetName + ".xlsx");
destination.createFile(blob);
}

Is there a way to auto next ( to the next item) the in cell data validation dropdown list after running a script in google sheet?

I am currently new to the google sheet script. I'm doing a simple report generator in google sheet using script. I already have a script that saves a generated pdf file to the google drive. In my google sheet there is a cell referenced to the main data source with dropdown data validation selecting the email of the person and will generate the other details (it a reference also based from that email in the same sheet). what I want is, when I run the script to save pdf file, it should automatically generate pdf file for each item in the dropdown validation list. Is this possible? Anyone who know this please.
this is my code that generate pdf file to the drive (i got this also from the net and made some changes)... thank you so much in advance.

assuming that myValidationList is the list of valid data, avd A2 the cell in wich the validation applies.

Script to automatically send a Sheet by email

I am trying to automate by a script the sending of a Sheet (active or not) of a workbook and only one sheet and not the whole workbook to a list of email addresses. Furthermore, I would like the Sheet to be converted to excel format when it is attached to the email.
Thank you for your answers
Try this:
function emailSpreadsheetAsPDF() {
const sheetToPrint = 'SPREADSHEET_NAME'; // name of the sheet to print
const ss = SpreadsheetApp.getSheetByName('SHEET_NAME'); // the sheets to use
const email = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheetByName('SHEET_NAME').getRange('RANGE').getValue().toString(); // grab the email address from the specified cell
const subject = `SUBJECT - ${ss.getName()}`; // the subject of the email
const body = "BODY"; // body of the email
const shID = ss.getSheetByName(sheetToPrint).getSheetId(); // the ID of the sheet
const url = 'https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/SS_ID/export?'.replace('SS_ID', ss.getId()); // url of the spreadsheet
const exportOptions =
'exportFormat=pdf&format=xlsx' + // export as pdf / csv / xls / xlsx
'&gid='+shID; // the sheet's Id
var params = {method:"GET",headers:{"authorization":"Bearer "+ ScriptApp.getOAuthToken()}};
// generate the file
var response = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url+exportOptions, params).getBlob();
// send the email to the specified address with the specified body text and attached file
GmailApp.sendEmail(email, subject, body, {
htmlBody: body,
attachments: [{
fileName: `EKOL Hungary - ${ss.getName()}` + ".xlsx",
content: response.getBytes(),
mimeType: "application/xlsx"
}]
});
}
Just substitute the SPREADSHEET_NAME, SHEET_NAME, RANGE, and BODY to what is true for your spreadsheet.
You can add a Trigger under the Triggers menu point (left side of the Script Editor) to automatically run the script whenever you want it to run.
Thanks but I failed to use it
But by combining several scripts, I found one that works:
function onSubmit(e){
Logger.log('submit ran');
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var sheet = ss.getActiveSheet();
//Send active sheet as email attachment
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet()
var ssID = ss.getId();
var sheetgId = ss.getActiveSheet().getSheetId();
var sheetName = ss.getName();
var token = ScriptApp.getOAuthToken();
var email = "xxx#xx";
var subject = "xxxxx";
var body = "xxxxx";
var url = "https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/"+ssID+"/export?" + "format=xlsx" + "&gid="+sheetgId+ "&portrait=false" + "&exportFormat=xlsx";
var result = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url, {
headers: {
'Authorization': 'Bearer ' + token
}
});
var contents = result.getContent();
MailApp.sendEmail(email,subject ,body, {attachments:[{fileName:sheetName+".xlsx", content:contents, mimeType:"application//xlsx"}]});
};
Now what I would like is to be able to send the sheet to email addresses located on another sheet.
Also in "subject", I would like to combine "xxxx" + a date in a cell of the active sheet: "xxxx dd / mm / yyyy"
I haven't figured out how to do it yet !!!

how Send specific part of the sheet as email?

this script sends a pdf copy to my email when I type Send in cell L6 , this code send the whole sheet and I need to send as only A1:J22 , any Ideas ?
function onEdit2(e) {
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
var r = sheet.getRange('L6').getValue();
if (r == "Send") {
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet()
var ssID = ss.getId();
var sheetgId = ss.getActiveSheet().getSheetId();
var sheetName = ss.getName();
var token = ScriptApp.getOAuthToken();
var email = "EMAIL HERE";
var subject = "Daily report ";
var body = "Please find the attached Daily report";
var url = "https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/"+ssID+"/export?"
+ "format=xlsx" + "&gid="+sheetgId+ "&portrait=true" +
"&exportFormat=pdf";
var result = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url, {
headers: {
'Authorization': 'Bearer ' + token
}
});
var contents = result.getContent();
MailApp.sendEmail(email,subject ,body, {
attachments: [{
fileName: sheetName + ".pdf",
content: contents,
mimeType: "application//pdf"
}]
})
}
}
You want to retrieve the cells of A1:J22 and want to create them to PDF data.
You want to achieve this using Google Apps Script.
If my understanding is correct, how about this answer? Please think of this as just one of several possible answers.
Modification points:
In this modification, create a temporal sheet and copy the values of the cells of A1:J22 to it. Then, the temporal sheet is converted to PDF file. And, the temporal sheet is deleted.
Modified script:
When your script is modified, please modify as follows.
function onEdit2(e) {
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
var r = sheet.getRange('L6').getValue();
if (r == "Send") {
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet()
var ssID = ss.getId();
var sheet = ss.getActiveSheet(); // Added
// var sheetgId = ss.getActiveSheet().getSheetId(); // removed
var sheetName = ss.getName();
var token = ScriptApp.getOAuthToken();
var email = "EMAIL HERE";
var subject = "Daily report ";
var body = "Please find the attached Daily report";
var tempSheet = ss.insertSheet("tempSheet"); // Added
sheet.getRange("A1:J22").copyTo(tempSheet.getRange(1, 1)); // Added
SpreadsheetApp.flush(); // Added
var sheetgId = tempSheet.getSheetId(); // Added
var url = "https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/"+ssID+"/export?" + "format=xlsx" + "&gid="+sheetgId+ "&portrait=true" + "&exportFormat=pdf";
var result = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url, {headers: {'Authorization': 'Bearer ' + token}});
var contents = result.getContent();
MailApp.sendEmail(email,subject ,body, {attachments: [{fileName: sheetName + ".pdf", content: contents, mimeType: "application//pdf"}]});
ss.deleteSheet(tempSheet); // Added
}
}
References:
insertSheet(sheetName)
copyTo(destination)
deleteSheet(sheet)
If I misunderstood your question and this was not the direction you want, I apologize.

Run script across multiple spreadsheets (googlesheet)

I'm currently running a script that takes a sheet, converts it into PDF and emails it out to an email address nightly. I am doing this across three separate spreadsheets. Instead of it running separately on each spreadsheet, I wanted to see if there was a to call each spreadsheet, and run the script once and attach all the PDFs into one email. It works great by itself, but I feel like it would make sense if I can have one spreadsheet run the function once and incorporate the other spreadsheets as well. Any direction would be helpful Thank you!
The script I am using is as follows
function PDFtoEmail() {
var email = "email#gmail.com";
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
SpreadsheetApp.setActiveSheet(ss.getSheetByName('Schedule 1'));
var sheet = ss.getActiveSheet();
var subject = "Nightly Scheduled PDF";
var body = "";
var url = "https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/SS_ID/export?".replace("SS_ID", ss.getId());
var url_ext = 'exportFormat=pdf&format=pdf'
+ '&size=letter'
+ '&portrait=true'
+ '&fitw=true&source=labnol'
+ '&sheetnames=false&printtitle=false'
+ '&pagenumbers=false&gridlines=false'
+ '&fzr=true'
+ '&gid=';
var token = ScriptApp.getOAuthToken();
var sheets = ss.getSheets();
var PDFtoEmail = [];
for(var i = 0; i < 3; i++){
var response = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url + url_ext + sheets[i].getSheetId(), {
headers: {
'Authorization': 'Bearer ' + token
}
});
PDFtoEmail[i] = response.getBlob().setName("Schedule.pdf");
}
if (MailApp.getRemainingDailyQuota() > 0)
GmailApp.sendEmail(email, subject, body, {
attachments:PDFtoEmail,
});
}
SpreadsheetApp.openByUrl() can open (for use by the script, they don't open in browser window) spreadsheets other than the one that is currently active. openByID is equally valid.
var sheets = [firstsheeturl, secondsheeturl,thirdsheeturl];
for(var i = 0; i < sheets.length; i++){
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.openByUrl(sheets[i]);
//code to do on all three sheets
}
