Google Sheet / Apps script / Trigger when a new row is added [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
Running onEdit trigger when sheet is updated by Zapier
(2 answers)
Closed 1 year ago.
I am currently working on an Apps Script on a google sheet file. I made a script that sends mail to contacts. In my sheet the contacts are in the form of a line which is automatically added with a zapier. I have installed an onChange trigger but I would like it to act only when a new row is added to my sheet, I have looked everywhere but no solutions work or correspond to my problem. So if anybody have an idea to solve it, it would be helpfull
(I put you a copy of my script below)
thanks in advance
'
function envoie_mail (){
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var sheet1=ss.getSheetByName('testmail');
var lr = sheet1.getLastRow();
var eligible = sheet1.getRange(lr,4).getValue();
var emailadresse = sheet1.getRange(lr,1).getValue();
var subject = sheet1.getRange(lr,2).getValue();
if (eligible === "non"){
var htmlTemplate = HtmlService.createTemplateFromFile("body.html");
var modele = htmlTemplate.evaluate().getContent();
var reference = sheet1.getRange(lr,3).getValue();
modele = modele.replace("<ref>",reference).replace("<ref2>",reference);
MailApp.sendEmail({
to: emailadresse,
subject: subject,
htmlBody: modele
});
}
}

I don't know how zapier works, howerver try to put an indicator and test as follows
function createSpreadsheetChangeTrigger() {
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActive();
ScriptApp.newTrigger('onChange')
.forSpreadsheet(ss)
.onChange()
.create();
}
function onChange(e) {
var f = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet()
var data = f.getRange(1,f.getLastColumn(),f.getLastRow(),1).getValues().join().split(',')
for (var i=0;i<data.length;i++){
if (data[i]=='') {
Browser.msgBox('envoi mail ligne ' + (i+1))
f.getRange((i+1),f.getLastColumn()).setValue('ok')
}
}
}

Form data submit to external sheet (google script)

I have created a data entry form in google sheets, now I am having trouble saving said entry to an external sheet so far this is what I have, I do not know if I am using the right method to reference sheet.
please look at comments, thank you
Everytime I am trying to submit the form it is giving lastRow Null
function submitData() {
//variable declaration for referenceing the active google sheet
var myGoogleSheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var shUserForm = myGoogleSheet.getSheetByName('MasterSheet');
//open external sheet
var extSS = SpreadsheetApp.openById("1U9SmfPCH9v8maqh6XL0dmRL85TJZfckUV7SAEGM3pQo");
var datasheet= extSS.getSheetByName("Mastersheet");
var srcData = shUserForm.getDataRange().getValues();
//to create the instance of the ui environment to use the alert features
var ui = SpreadsheetApp.getUi();
var response = ui.alert("Submit", "Do you want to submit the data?", ui.ButtonSet.YES_NO);
//checking the user response
if ( response == ui.NO) {
return; // to ext from this function
}
if ( validateEntry()== true) {
var blankRow =datasheet.getLastRow() + 1; //identify the next blank row
//'code to update the database sheet ( write data entry to DB sheet)
datasheet.getRange(blankRow,1).setValue(srcData.getRange("C7").getValue()); //input number
datasheet.getRange(blankRow,2).setValue(srcData.getRange("C9").getValue()); //Department
datasheet.getRange(blankRow,3).setValue(srcData.getRange("C11").getValue()); //Agent Name
datasheet.getRange(blankRow,4).setValue(srcData.getRange("C13").getValue()); //Hub location
datasheet.getRange(blankRow,9).setValue(srcData.getRange("C15").getValue()); //order ID
datasheet.getRange(blankRow,10).setValue(srcData.getRange("C20").getValue()); //type of entry
datasheet.getRange(blankRow,5).setValue(Session.getActiveUser().getEmail()); //Submitted By, this will automatically get user email
datasheet.getRange(blankRow,7).setValue(new Date()).setNumberFormat('yyyy-mm-dd h:mm:');
datasheet.getRange(blankRow,8).setValue(new Date()).setNumberFormat('yyyy-mm-dd h:mm:');
datasheet.getRange(blankRow,6).setValue(srcData.getRange("C17").getValue()); //comments
ui.alert(' "New Data Saved - Input #' + shUserForm.getRange("C7").getValue() + '"');
shUserForm.getRange("C7").clear();
shUserForm.getRange("C9").clear();
shUserForm.getRange("C11").clear();
shUserForm.getRange("C13").clear();
shUserForm.getRange("C15").clear();
shUserForm.getRange("C17").clear();
}
}

To save data to another Spreadsheet, You need to open it first by using either openById("insert sheet id here") or openByUrl("insert sheet URL here"). This will return a Spreadsheet class which has getSheetByName("sheet name") method you can use to access the Sheet.
ID of the spreadsheet can be found in the url. This can be found after /d/ or before /edit
Example ID:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/12345/edit#gid=0
12345 is the Spreadsheet ID
Example:
Code:
function saveData() {
//open current sheet
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var sh = ss.getSheetByName("Sheet1");
//open external sheet
var extSS = SpreadsheetApp.openById("Insert External Spreadsheet ID here");
var extSH = extSS.getSheetByName("Sheet1 External");
//get data from current Sheet.
var srcData = sh.getDataRange().getValues();
//write to external sheet
extSH.getRange(extSH.getLastRow()+1, 1, srcData.length, srcData[0].length).setValues(srcData);
}
This script will paste the values from Sheet1 to Sheet2
Before:
Sheet1 Data:
Sheet2 Data:
After:
Sheet1 Data:
Sheet2 Data:
SpreadsheetApp.openByID()
SpreadsheetApp.openByURL()
Spreadsheet.getSheetByName()

How to create macro to hide/show sheets automatically depending of a condition?

I'm totally lost here!
My spreadsheet has one sheet " Product Master Record" with a table containing three columns: Product ID (numerical) | Product Description | Product Status.
Each product has its own sheet within the spreadsheet.
The name of each sheet depends on the product status:
- "Active" product: sheet name = product name --> Sheet is visible
- "Inactive" product: sheet name = product ID --> Sheet is hidden
So I'm trying to write a macro which hide/shows sheets depending on the condition:
Product status (active/inactive)
Sheet name (if name contains text or not)
I don't need to write both conditions; only the easiest one to code.
Any ideas??
Thank you!

Here the sample for your purpose, ProdMaster, row 1 header [ProdId,Desc,Status], and rows afterward are data, and Status will be Inactive and Active:
function HideSheets() {
var spreadsheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActive();
var sheet = spreadsheet.getSheetByName('ProdMaster');
var lrow = sheet.getLastRow();
var myValue = sheet.getRange("A2:C" + lrow).getValues();
for (a=1; a<myValue.length+1; a++)
{
var target = myValue[a-1];
var tsheet = spreadsheet.getSheetByName(target[0]);
if(tsheet==null) spreadsheet.insertSheet(target[0]);
if(target[2]=='Active') tsheet.showSheet();
if(target[2]=='Inactive') tsheet.hideSheet();
}
};

As a way for solving your problem you could do the following, instead of using "Active" or "Inactive" as checkers for validating a boolean condition, in your "Product Master Record" you could set the status using the functions TRUE and FALSE, in that way you could decouple hardcoded text from your code and avoid the trouble from someone misspelling the words "Active" or "Inactive".
function HideSheets() {
// Get the active sheet and range of rows you want
var spreadSheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActive();
var mainSheet = spreadSheet.getSheetByName('Product Master Record');
var rows = mainSheet.getRange("A2:C" + mainSheet.getLastRow()).getValues();
// Iterate over all rows
for(row in rows){
// Get the sheets from their names and check if not null
var secondarySheet = spreadSheet.getSheetByName(rows[row][0]);
if(secondarySheet){
if(rows[row][2]) secondarySheet.showSheet(); // show the sheet if value is true
if(!rows[row][2]) secondarySheet.hideSheet(); // hide sheet if value is false
}
}
};

Thank you all!
Finally I found help with a colleague and it works. This is the code in case someone finds useful:
function updateSheetFromIndex(index)
{
var app = SpreadsheetApp;
var ss = app.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var activeSheet = ss.getSheetByName(sheetNameOfTheMenu);
var cell = activeSheet.getRange(index, 5);
var formula = cell.getFormula();
var regExpr = /\#gid=([0-9]*)"/;
var result = regExpr.exec(formula);
var cellStatus = activeSheet.getRange(index, 4);
Logger.log(index)
if (result != null) {
var gid = result[1];
for each (var sheet in SpreadsheetApp.getActive().getSheets()) {
if(sheet.getSheetId()==gid){
if (cellStatus.getValue() == "Activo") {
Logger.log("Activo---");
sheet.showSheet();
}
if (cellStatus.getValue() == "Inactivo") {
Logger.log("Inactivo---");
sheet.hideSheet();
}
break;
}
}
} else {
Logger.log("+++ No pattern matches");
Logger.log("Formula");
Logger.log(formula);
}
}

Google Sheets App Script Find and Replace

I'm trying to do something but I'm not too code savy.
I have two sheets, one has a two columns "Status" and "ID", then I have a second sheet that is blank. The first sheet is huge but I need a script in which I can paste a bunch of random IDs into the blank sheet then run this script and it will search the ID column of sheet 1, if any ID on Sheet 2 matches the ID on sheet 1 then change the status from "On Hold" to "Sent"
I think I'm headed in the right direction but I'm not having much luck.
Here's what I have:
function onOpen() {
var ui = SpreadsheetApp.getUi();
ui.createMenu('Script Menu')
.addItem('Run Script', 'Sent')
.addToUi();
}
function SentToOCS() {
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var source = ss.getSheetByName("Sent IDs"); //Sheet containing IDs
var sheet1 = ss.getSheetByName("sheet1");
var searchData = source.getDataRange().getValues(); //The IDs we want to find
var ids = sheet1.getDataRange().getValues(); //Data Range and values of data to search
var status = sheet1.getDataRange(); //Data Range of "On Hold" status
for (var j = 0; j<searchData.length; j++){
for (var i = 0; i<ids.length; i++) {
if (ids(i) == searchData(j)){
status(i) == "Sent";
}
}
}
}

Clear cell content when another cell is entered

Hi I'm very new to the google scripts, and would like to ask for your help.
In my spreadsheet, I need a script to clear data in cells I & J when a date is entered in cell H?
I.e. if a date is entered into H5, then clear all data in I5 & J5, or if a date is entered in H7 then clear all data in I7 & J7, etc.
Many Thanks

try that:
function onEdit() {
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var sheet = ss.getSheetByName("month test"); // don't forget to change by your sheet name
var statusValues = sheet.getRange("H:H").getValues();
for (var row in statusValues) {
try{
if(statusValues[row][0]!="" && typeof statusValues[row][0]=="object"){
var num = parseInt(row) + 1;
sheet.getRange(num, 9,1,2).setValue("");
}
}
catch(err){
Logger.log("didn't worked line: "+row+" --- "+err)}
}
};
