update google contact with marked sheet using google app scripts - google-apps-script

Question

I'm trying to update my Google contacts from a sheet. I want to search column I of the sheet to check for 'pending'. If a row is pending, I want to take the values in column G, H, and E of that row and add it to that contact's Note.
Here's what I've got so far. Currently stuck on how to get the row of a contact marked 'pending'.
function test(){
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
var data = ss.getDataRange().getValues(); // read all data in the sheet
for(n=9;n<data.length;++n){ // iterate row by row and examine data in column I
if(data[n][0].toString().match('pending')){
var row = ???
var name = ss.getRange(row, 1).getValue();
var contacts = ContactsApp.getContactsByName(name);
for (var i in contacts) {
var donate = ss.getRange(row, 7).getValue();
var pickup = ss.getRange(row, 8).getValue();
var item = ss.getRange(row, 5).getValue();
contacts[i].setNotes(donate + '\n\n' + item + '\n\n' + pickup + '\n\n');}
ss.getRange('9**row**').setValue('done');
}
}
}

This should do, haven't tested it though. Let me know if the code does not work.
function test()
{
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.openById(<SPREADSHEET_ID>).getSheetByName("Sheet1");
var lastRow = ss.getLastRow();
var data = ss.getRange("I1:I"+lastRow).getValues(); // read all data in the sheet
for(var n=0;n<data.length;n++)
{ // iterate row by row and examine data in column I
if(data[n] == 'pending')
{
//var row = ???
var name = ss.getRange("A"+n).getValue();
var contacts = ContactsApp.getContactsByName(name);
for (var i in contacts)
{
var donate = ss.getRange("G"+n).getValue();
var pickup = ss.getRange("H"+n).getValue();
var item = ss.getRange("E"+n).getValue();
contacts[i].setNotes(donate + '\n\n' + item + '\n\n' + pickup + '\n\n');}
ss.getRange('9**row**').setValue('done');
}
}
}
Instead of using var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet(); you should consider using var ss = SpreadsheetApp.openSheetById(<SPREADSHEET_ID>).getSheetByName(<SHEET_NAME>);
