Running an IF script across multiple ranges - google-apps-script

Question

I've put together a script that takes the values of 4 cells in a row ,A23:E23, and duplicates those values in another sheet if a specific (H3) cell in that row contains the text "Live".
The script needs to run daily, which I understand I can do with ease, but it also needs to work with every row below row 23 that contains values, with the reportData and ifd variables working respectively. i.e.
var reportData = reportSheet.getRange("A24...A25...A26:E24...E25...E26").getValues();
var lastRow = recordsSheet.getLastRow();
var ifd = reportSheet.getRange("H24...H25...H25").getValue();
The idea behind this script is to capture a daily snapshot of the values that are in Sheet1 as the values are constantly updated, but as cumulative figures. I need to capture a daily record of these cumulative figures.
function appendToRecords() {
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var reportSheet = ss.getSheetByName("Sheet1");
var recordsSheet = ss.getSheetByName("database")
var reportData = reportSheet.getRange("A23:E23").getValues();
var lastRow = recordsSheet.getLastRow();
var ifd = reportSheet.getRange("H23").getValue();
if (ifd == "Live"){
recordsSheet.getRange("A2:E2")
.setValues(reportData); }}
Can anyone suggest a way to do this?
Here's a sample sheet that the script works with: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1FMlj_9l7Sm0QMKcFpbC4iExbATgPL0jIWoVrvV_Vcfw/edit?usp=sharing

You can easily log all "live" rows to your database like this:
function appendToRecords() {
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var reportSheet = ss.getSheetByName("Sheet1");
var recordsSheet = ss.getSheetByName("database")
var reportData = reportSheet.getRange("A8:H").getValues();
// Get only rows that are "Live"
// And only get the first five colums
var toWrite = reportData.filter(function(row) {
return row[7] === "Live";
}).map(function(row) {
return row.splice(0, 5);
});
if(!toWrite.length) {return;} // Return if nothing to write
recordsSheet
.getRange(recordsSheet.getLastRow() + 1, 1,
toWrite.length, toWrite[0].length)
.setValues(toWrite);
}
