Google sheets scripts function UrlFetchApp.fetch does not run from .onEdit(e) but works from editor

I have created a google sheet with a lot of info for a beach volleyball cup and I want to call an API I have created when a checkbox is checked in this sheet.
function onEdit(e){
const ui = SpreadsheetApp.getUi();
const spreadsheets = SpreadsheetApp.getActive();
const configSheet = spreadsheets.getSheetByName("Config")
var tourneyId = String(configSheet.getRange(2,4).getValue())
var tourneyTitle = String(configSheet.getRange(2,5).getValue())
var sheet = spreadsheets.getActiveSheet()
if (sheet.getName() == "LiveScore"){
var actRng = sheet.getActiveRange();
var editColumn = actRng.getColumn();
var rowIndex = actRng.getRowIndex();
actRng = actRng.getCell(1, 1);
var headers = sheet.getRange(1, 1, 1, sheet.getLastColumn()).getValues();
if(editColumn == 7 && rowIndex != 1){
onStartBroadcastClicked(actRng, ui, sheet, rowIndex, editColumn, tourneyTitle);
}
}
}
There is never any problems with this part as I see it. But when i get into the function onStartBroadcastClicked:
function onStartBroadcastClicked(actRng, ui, sheet, rowIndex, editColumn, tourneyTitle){
var homeTeam = String(sheet.getRange(rowIndex, 14).getValue());
... // more setting variables
var endTime = new Date(startTime.getTime() + MILLIS_PER_MATCH);
if(actRng.isChecked()){
var response = ui.alert("You are about to start a new broadcast. Are you sure?" +
"\n Title: " + title, ui.ButtonSet.YES_NO);
if (response == ui.Button.YES) {
var httpRequest = "https://someUrl";
var options =
{
'method':'POST',
'contentType': 'application/json',
'payload' : JSON.stringify({
"title" : title,
... // setting all variables
"description" : description
}),
'muteHttpExceptions' : true,
'headers' : {
"Authorization": "Basic " + Utilities.base64Encode(USERNAME + ":" + PASSWORD)
}
};
ui.alert("Waiting.......")
var result = UrlFetchApp.fetch(httpRequest, options);
ui.alert(result.getContentText())
The issue is that it always gets to the line ui.alert("Waiting......."), but when triggered from the checkbox, it never succeeds the http POST request. If I click play inside the editor, it succeeds and I got the response in the alertbox.
Could it be some timeout or some autosave issues? Does anyone have any idea if where to keep looking? I've been stuck here for some time now and I would be really happy if anyone can point me to the correct direction.

The modification point of your issue is to use the installable trigger of OnEdit event. When the methods which are required to authorize used at the simple trigger, the error occurs. This situation makes us think that it seems the script doesn't work.
In order to avoid this error, please use the installable triggers of OnEdit event trigger.
As an important point, before you install the trigger, please rename the function name of onEdit() to other name. And install the renamed function name as the OnEdit event trigger. By this, the duplicate run of onEdit() can be prevented. If onEdit() function is installed as the installable trigger, when a cell is edited, the function is run 2 times. Ref.
By above settings, when the cell is edited, UrlFetchApp.fetch() works.

I was able to get a script to work with a trigger if I created the script from script.google.com and call the Google Sheet and tab from the script. I'm manually entered in my API calls per cell within a specified Row:
function fetchUrls() {
var spreadsheetId = "ENTER GOOGLE SHEET ID";
var spreadsheet = SpreadsheetApp.openById(spreadsheetId);
var sheet = spreadsheet.getSheetByName("ENTER SHEET NAME");
var range = sheet.getRange("ENTER RANGE OR FULL COLUMN"); // specify the range of cells in column B
var urls = range.getValues(); // get the values of the cells and store them
in an array
var cache = CacheService.getScriptCache();
for (var i = 0; i < urls.length; i++) {
if(urls[i][0] != "") { // check if the current cell is not empty
var url = urls[i][0];
var result = cache.get(url);
if(!result) {
var response = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url);
result = response.getContentText();
cache.put(url, result, 21600);
}
sheet.getRange(i+1,3).setValue(result); // set the value of the current cell to the result of the API call in column C
}
}
}

Email notification: TypeError: Cannot find function getColumn in object 1

I'm new to javascript and I'm trying to write this function that will be used in google sheet so that whenever a value is changed in a specific cell, it will send an email notification to say that cell has been changed. The problem lies is when I used this code in a google sheet there is an error:
"TypeError: Cannot find function getColumn in object 1"
Im not sure what is causing this and I have attempted to look at other peoples problems similar to this but I just dont understand why it is doing this.
Code:
function onEdit(e)
{
var range = e.range;
if (e.getColumn() == 11)
{
var previous = range.offset(0, -1);
var next = range.offset(0, 1);
var emailAddress = 'myemail#gmail.com';
var message = 'Data Changed';
var subject = 'Test Awareness Mail';
GmailApp.sendEmail(emailAddress, subject, message);
}
}

How can I specify an AdWords account when using campaignSelector in AdWords scripts?

I've attempted to write a script that will:
Iterate through all the accounts in an MCC and select those which have 'SEM' in the name.
Iterate through campaigns in an account and select those which meet certain conditions.
Email a list of these campaigns to myself.
The problem I have I have is with linking the account loop to the campaign loop.
So my question is; How can I specify an AdWords account when using campaignSelector in AdWords scripts?
If I can specify the account for the campaign iteration (rather than the script defaulting to the account that the script is in), I can put an array containing my chosen accounts there.
Thanks.
The script so far:
//This code is to be placed in an MCC, sift through accounts in that MCC that fit a certain criteria
//then in those selected accounts, sift through the campaigns that fit a certain criteria and add
//these to a report (report code yet to be added)
//The problem we have is getting the campaignSelector() function to ‘look’ at the account that has been passed through from the accountIterator() function
function main() {
var mccAccount = AdWordsApp.currentAccount();
var childAccounts = MccApp.accounts();
function accountIterator()
{
var accountSelector = MccApp.accounts()
.withCondition("AccountDescriptiveName CONTAINS 'SEM'")
.withCondition("Status = ENABLED");
var accountIterator = accountSelector.get();
while (accountIterator.hasNext())
{
var account = accountIterator.next();
var accountName = account.getName();
Logger.log(accountName);
campaignSelector(accountName); //This might be really wrong....
//Need to pass the account name through to the campaignSelector function
//so that the campaignSelector functions looks at the campaigns in the highlighted account
}
}
function campaignSelector ()
{
//SELECT campaigns we're interested in
var account = AdWordsApp.currentAccount(); //Guessing that we might need to use this?
var campaignSelector = AdWordsApp.campaigns()
.withCondition("CampaignName CONTAINS 'Shoop'")
.withCondition("SearchExactMatchImpressionShare < 95")
.forDateRange("LAST_7_DAYS")
.withCondition("Status = ENABLED");
//GET an iterator to list the selected campaigns
var campaignIterator = campaignSelector.get();
//ITERATE through all selected campaigns
while (campaignIterator.hasNext())
{
var campaign = campaignIterator.next();
//Add campaign and account info to a report – to be coded seperately
}
}
}

You can use this part of code to select one account with certain contidion before your code. I hope it helps
var mccAccount = AdWordsApp.currentAccount();
while (accountIterator.hasNext()) {
var account = accountIterator.next();
if("condition to get certain account"){
// Select the client account.
MccApp.select(account);
}
}
// Select campaigns under the client account
var campaignIterator = AdWordsApp.campaigns().get();

I'd do something like this:
function main() {
var mccAccount = AdWordsApp.currentAccount();
var childAccounts = MccApp.accounts();
var accountIterator = MccApp.accounts().get();
while (accountIterator.hasNext())
{
var account = accountIterator.next();
campaignSelector(account);
}
}
function campaignSelector(account) {
MccApp.select(account); // open the account that we've acquired in the previous function
var accountName = account.getName();
var campaignSelector = AdWordsApp.campaigns()
.withCondition("CampaignName CONTAINS 'Shoop'")
.withCondition("SearchExactMatchImpressionShare < 95")
.forDateRange("LAST_7_DAYS")
.withCondition("Status = ENABLED");
var campaignIterator = campaignSelector.get();
while (campaignIterator.hasNext()) {
var campaign = campaignIterator.next();
// Reporting
}
}
I think the main problem in the code you give us is the missing MccApp.select function.

Google script for sending email if cell value is below certain value issue

Very new to javascript. Probably very obvious/easy solution to this for someone that knows.
Trying to write a script that sends an email if a cell value drops below 100 and changes the cell colour to blue:
I have tried to write it by calling a function:
function sendemails() {
var emailAddress = "email#address.com";
var message = "test body";
var subject = "test subject";
MailApp.sendEmail(emailAddress, subject, message);
}
function onEdit(e) {
var range = e.range;
if(range.getValue() < 100) {
range.setBackgroundColor('blue');
}
if(range.getValue() < 100) {
sendemails()
}
}
I have also just tried sending the mail directly:
function onEdit(e) {
var range = e.range;
if(range.getValue() < 100) {
range.setBackgroundColor('blue');
}
if(range.getValue() < 100) {
var emailAddress = "email#address.com";
var message = "test body";
var subject = "test subject";
MailApp.sendEmail(emailAddress, subject, message);
}
}
I cant get either to work, probably as I haven't called the function correctly or have missed something obvious. The cell changes to blue, and if I run the sendemails function by itself, not as a result of onedit it sends an email. Im just struggling to call it.
Any help or explanations would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks

The reason is quite simple, and Google has stated it in the developer guide:
Because simple triggers fire automatically, without asking the user
for authorization, they are subject to several restrictions:
They cannot access services that require authorization. For example, a simple trigger cannot send an email because the Gmail service requires authorization, but a simple trigger can translate a phrase with the Language service, which is anonymous.
Please see the section "Restrictions" here.
To work around this issue, you can create a normal function sendEmail(). This function can be added as a installable trigger, and will then be allowed to call services that require authorization. You can read more about that here.
The code for sending mails would then look like this:
function sendEmail() {
var range = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveRange();
if (range.getValue() < 100){
var emailAddress = "email#example.com";
var message = "test body";
var subject = "test subject";
MailApp.sendEmail(emailAddress, subject, message);
}
}

Google Apps Script sends wrong form input via mail

I am pretty new to coding and have the following problem with my little Google Apps Script.
Can anyone tell me why the following script doesn't send me/the user (I use the form and this script only myself) the specific answer of my latest form response? It somehow always sends me the answer of the form response with which I used this script the first time...
function sendAnswerViaMail() {
var myEmail = Session.getEffectiveUser().getEmail();
var subject = 'My answer to the 26th question.';
var form = FormApp.getActiveForm();
var formResponses = form.getResponses();
var formResponse = formResponses[formResponses.length-1];
var itemResponses = formResponse.getItemResponses();
var itemResponse = itemResponses[25];
MailApp.sendEmail (myEmail, subject, itemResponse.getResponse());
}

I suppose your script is fired when a user submit the form via the trigger functionnality.
The approach you have here is more logic one, but unfortunatelly not the good one because it does not handle the fact that 2 people may answer your form in almost the same time and the trigger that launch your script is not correlated with the fact that your script has recorded the answer and that you can access it with:
var form = FormApp.getActiveForm();
var formResponses = form.getResponses();
Instead of that approach I can propose you to use the object that the trigger on form submit will give to your function when launched:
/**
* function triggered each time the form is submited
*
*/
function submitFormFunc(e) {
var user = e.response.getRespondentEmail();
var items = e.response.getItemResponses();
var responses={}; // given responses form the user
var respObj = {};
for(var i = 0; i< items.length; i++) {
var it = items[i];
responses[it.getItem().getId()] = {
"title":it.getItem().getTitle(),
"response":it.getResponse()
};
respObj[it.getItem().getTitle()] = it.getResponse();
}
Logger.log("responses: "+JSON.stringify(responses));
}
