I have users submitting requests via Google form. One of these requests is a "Priority" where they can choose Low-Medium-High and each answer also has a short few word descript of what that means.
I track all of these requests in Asana on a Board thanks to a Zapier integration.
I would LOVE to be able to append the "Priority" as a tag in Asana automatically. Unfortunately Zapier -> Asana tagging works on the Asana Tag ID not the plain text name of the tag. I have the IDs associated to each "Priority" response but it wouldn't make sense to an end user to select the priority of "123412341234" for "High".
Is there a way for when a Form response is submitted to instantly update the response for a specific column based on a match table? Essentially, if the person responds "High" instead record "123412341234".
I am not a super strong programmer as I am on the Program & Product management side trying to build this as a side project for my small analyst team but I am happy to try to understand any and all code you send my way.
First submission so please let me know if you need more information and thank you for your time!
Have you thought of trying this without a script? One possible approach is to query the form data in a different tab. with something like.
=QUERY('Form responses 1'!A1:B)
Then in an adjacent column you could use an array formula with a conditional that looks at the response and makes it into a number.
=ARRAYFORMULA(if(B:B="Medium","3030404",""))
I made an example here.

I am conducting a survey among students and I want to measure their attitudes on the beginning and end of the semester.
However, I want the survey to be anonymous.
My question is: Is it possible to create a script in Google Forms which will generate a unique code for each respondent, save that code in the Google Sheets alongside the responses and most importantly, provide the respondent with the code so that in the next round of survey, he/she can insert the code so that I can link the responses from the two surveys.
Thank you so much for all the help!
Yes, you can achieve this with Apps Script. The workflow for getting such functionallity would be as follows:
Using Form Service every time a response is submitted generate a random number. If you want to track your codes so that two users don't end up with the same code (highly unlikely but possible) then store your codes with the responses in the Spreadsheet linked to your form using the Spreadsheet Service, specifically take a look at the methods for getting and setting values in a specific range. You can then compare your generated random number with the codes you already have and if it matches any generate a new random number and check again.
Either send this random number by email using Gmail Service or, in case it has to be completely anonymous set the submit message to display your code.
Then for providing a different form if the user already has an access code you can simply ask the user at the beggining of the form whether they have a code or they dont and depending on that redirect them to the section of the form that you wish. To verify this code you could then on the form response compare his code with the list of codes you already have to verify that this user actually did complete the form previously.
This generally takes several services working in tandem. However, an easy solution might be to have the first field on the form/survey simply ask the user to create and enter a codename for themselves, instructing them to save it (in their phone notes?) for use again at the end of the term. In fact, at the end of the term, you could even print out a full list of JUST the code names and post it for students to peruse, in case they forgot. Each person will certainly recognize the name they chose from a list, while no one else will know who's who. You could even ask them to submit the post-assessment right in class after checking the code name list. And actually, I'm sure most students will get a kick out of seeing (and wondering about) the weird code names that will turn up.
I'm trying to build a super simple Google Sheet dashboard comparing the prices at D+7 and D+30 in real-time of specific listings/rooms that are both on Airbnb and Booking.com.
On the Booking.com side, it was super easy : I just created a formula concatenating the URL with the check-in/check-out dates, number of guests and trip duration as parameters and using the =IMPORTXML function and the proper class, I was able to automatically retrieve the price.
It is more difficult on Airbnb, as the price is dynamic(see here: https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/25961741). When I use what I think is the proper class, I get a "N/A Error, Imported content is empty" on Google Sheet.
I also tried using the Airbnb API with REGEX functions to extract the price, but the price set in the listing info is a default price, and does not reflect reality:
"price":1160,"price_formatted":"$1160"
https://api.airbnb.com/v2/listings/25961741?client_id=d306zoyjsyarp7ifhu67rjxn52tv0t20&_format=v1_legacy_for_p3&number_of_guests=1
Do you now if there are any other possible way to access this dynamic price and have it automatically parsed into a spreadsheet? It seems that the data I'm looking for in within meta tags on the HTML code and I don't know if it's possible to scrape it into Google sheet using =IMPORT functions.
Maybe with of a script ?
Thanks a lot !
I'm curious if you were unable to yank direct with the ABNB API; what if you tried to directly pull off the site's service? Have a look at this URL:

This is a GET request to ABNB's live page search; now I don't know much about ABNB but I can see from the listings portion of the JSON feed it does have a few pricing factors that differ from the API results you provided; I'm not sure what you need to pull exactly but this may lead you in the right direction; check the 'Listings' array and see if there's something you can possibly use.
Keep in mind if you are looking to automate scraping this data you would want to generate new search sessions; but first you want to see if this is the type of data you're looking for.
Another option, Google CSE's API; I've pulled data in the page headers of sites as they appear in Google based on the Schema.org's tags; but this may be delayed data and it appears you need real-time; the best route would be reserach the above example or try to make sure of ABNB's natural API (they provide its functionality for a reason right?; there must be a way to get what you need).
Hope my answer helped lead you in the right direction!
I made an online store coded in JSP and tables stored in MysQl. I'm using servlet and classes. I would like to get notify by mail at admin#domain.com when an order is inserted in the database.
Likewise, the customer should receive the order confirmation to the email they entered when they submit the form.
I would like to get feedback on how to do such a task. What's the best practice? I hope to not get back fire with this question because I`m aware there are several answers possible.
Basically, I`m just looking for the easiest and fastest implementation without too much hassle!
The form contains very sensitive and confidential data like address and such. But, since our customers can track their orders on the site, the data should not be sent, for security purposes. Just a message to confirm the reception of their order.
Please guide me in the right direction.
If you are using Hibernate i would recommend you using an entity listener, specially with a #PostPersist callback. You can read about it in Chapter 6. Entity listeners and Callback methods.
The email part can be done using the JavaMail API.
You can check an example of sending an email in Sending an Email using the JavaMail API.
Hope it helps!
I have a small ecommerce business and from time to time a customer will say that they never ordered the item and I am forced to refund their money due to lack of any confirmation from the customer as to his actually placing the order.
I would like to add either an hmtl button or any sort of tool to the emails that i sent you with the customer's receipt. The customer will get the email with his receipt and also within the email will be a button ("I approve This Transaction") for him to click on that will send me back a confirmation email.
Please advise.
Thanks,
Don
There are 2 ways to do this.
With a mailto: link, this would open the users default email client where they would have to send the email as an extra step.
URL parameter in a normal href/button link (ie: www.yoursite.com/yourpage.php?email=their#email.com). You would link to a webpage (yourpage.php) that would pass that URL parameter (in this example "email", but can be any other info you pass through) you can then parse that URL parameter in your webpage and have it email you automatically based on that info.
Option 2 is the way to go, but requires some coding knowledge (PHP for example). Also, in order to set up unique URL parameters, you'll need a system that uses merge tags to create unique values for each email you send. I'd suggest you should use a transactional email service provider for this.
I am attempting to implement the following for my school's website:
School registration is currently a hard-copy form.
They'd like applicants to fill out a PDF form online.
They then print, sign and mail it to the school.
The school want to be able to store the data entered by the applicant in the PDF so that when the signed application arrives, they can simply approve the registration for that student without reentering all the students info.
The school system is run on MS Access (if it matters which version I can find this out).
Any ideas how I can implement an import from their form to MS Access?
Thanks.
I've used a website called www.doculicious.com that does pretty much this exact thing. You can upload a PDF and have it converted into a web form. Whoever fills in the web form can download the completed PDF and print it out for signing. All the data is stored in the system and you can get it out as XML or CSV for importing into another database manually, or use the API to do that part automatically.
It depends on how automatically you want it to be. A fully automated case would be
Scan in the printed form using TWAIN
Use a Form Recognition library to align the form back to the original and find the zones with the information you want
Use OCR to get the information out of the form (probably ICR, if handwritten)
Find the original record in Access
Update the record with the new data
This isn't simple -- there are products out there that could help, but they are not cheap, and ICR is not very accurate.
I would suggest that you just do #4 and #5 in Access and give them a screen where they process an incoming form -- someone keys in the new data. That form
Lets you specify the record you want to update (like with a name or ssn)
Shows you the record with edit boxes for you to fill in with the form data
Saves it back when you are done.
This is straight-forward in Access.
The school can use a regular HTML form on their website and ask parents to submit details online. Your server-side can save the submitted details to your database and generate a unique submission token/key/code back to the parent on the web page. When the parents come to the school and mention the key, print their details on paper and ask them to sign it. You file the paper and the data is already in your database.
If the intent is to import from an electronically submitted form, I have used Adobe LifeCycle Designer to accomplish this very thing. Basically you can create an XML output of the PDF form data using an email client of the end users choice and have the data from the XML file read from the inbox into the fields of your MS Access database. Of course this solution has some serious constraints on what applications are to be used, as well as what use cases are handled, for example this solution is in a controlled environment in which all users are required to email there requests, where possibly your requirements may need to handle mailed correspondence as well.
I would add to VSU's answer by suggesting the use of Google Forms for data entry.
You just need a free account, then use Docs to create a new Form.
It's extremely easy to setup, and the submitted results en-up in a Google spreadsheet that you can download as an regular Excel file (that makes it very easy to import into Access).
You have a few ways to share the form:
Email a link to the form
Embed the form into an email
Embed the form in your web site, which is probably the best solution for you.
Once the data is in your database, you can easily create a report and a simple lookup form to find the name of the applicant and print the form.
It shouldn't take more than one hour to get start and have something functional.
You can always improve later once you've experimented with this.
The advantage of using Google forms is that it's free, it works well, and you are fairly secure since you're not linking your database directly to the Internet (and don't risk SQL injection).
