How to make sure that the PDF attached to the auto email is to the newest information?

This is the flow I created through Google Apps Script.
Someone writes their information in google form
The information is stored into spreadsheet
Invoice is created within spreadsheet with the newest information received
The invoice is turned into PDF format automatically
The newest invoice is attached to the auto sending email
The person receives an auto-email with the invoice attached as soon as they submit the google form
The problem is that, when someone submits the google form, they receive an invoice but what they receive is the invoice from the information one before. This then repeats. When someone submits, the information inside the invoice is from the person one before.
I am a starter at Google Script so I have no idea why this is happening.
This is the code I use to send the auto email. I have minimized the code.
function for_users2() {
var title = "【お問い合わせありがとうございます】";
var name = '名前';
var mail = 'メールアドレス';
var address = "";
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
var row = sheet.getLastRow();
var column = sheet.getLastColumn();
var range = sheet.getDataRange();
var TIMESTAMP_LABEL = 'タイムスタンプ';
for (var i = 1; i <= column; i++ ) {
var item = range.getCell(1, i).getValue();
var value = range.getCell(row, i).getValue();
if ( item === TIMESTAMP_LABEL ) {
item = 'お問い合わせ日時';
}
if ( item === 'お問い合わせ日時' ) {
value = Utilities.formatDate(value, 'Asia/Tokyo',"YYYY'年'MM'月'dd'日'HH'時'mm'分'ss'秒'");
}
body += "■"+item+"\n";
body += value + "\n\n";
if ( item === name ) {
body = value+" 様\n\n"+body;
}
if ( item === mail ) {
address = value;
}
}
body += body2;
var token = ScriptApp.getOAuthToken();
var pdf = UrlFetchApp.fetch("https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO/export?exportFormat=pdf&format=pdf&size=A4&portrait=true&fitw=true&sheetnames=false&printtitle=false&pagenumbers=false&gridlines=false&fzr=false&gid=00000000000", {headers: {'Authorization': 'Bearer ' + token}}).getBlob().setName('請求書');
GmailApp.sendEmail(
address,
title,
body,
{
attachments: [pdf],
name: 'Automatic Emailer Script'
}
);
}
There is no error. It's just that the invoice attached is from one previous customer.

Thank you to the people who have answered my question. Special thanks to Tanaike who have suggested a workaround where I was able to use as a starter to GAS.
As I used Utilities.sleep(5000), whenever someone submits google form, the invoice produced (PDF format) is updated to the newest info. Since the program I created isn't aimed for very heavy processes, it may be the reason why it worked perfectly fine.

If SpreasheetApp.flush() doesn't seem to be working then you should certainly move to the onFormSubmit - Installable Trigger.
Triggers - Form Submit
This way you can process the exact values from the form and use the same function you are using now. Instead of fetching the last row values, you can fetch the values from the form submission using this.
var name = e.namedValues['Name'][0]; var email = e.namedValues['Email'][0];

Automatically Filtering Items By Vendor During Creation of a Record

I have a set of scripts that I'm using that interact with each other. I use a client, user event and suitelet script to create a button that, when pressed, opens a popup with a list of items filtered by vendor.
It works fine when I'm in edit however when I use it while creating a record problems arise. Since the record to be created has no vendor or id I can't retrieve an item by vendor. What I'm trying to do is to have the Suitelet retrieve the info from the vendor field that is entered prior to it being saved. Therefore I can filter all the items by vendor and add the necessary items in one go. Is this possible? Am I able to access the info before it is submitted.
Below are the Client and Suitelet. The User Event is just a call to the suitelet so for the sake of brevity I left it out.
Client Script
function addItemButtonCallback(data){
nlapiSelectNewLineItem('item');
nlapiSetCurrentLineItemValue('item', 'item', data);
nlapiCommitLineItem('inventoryitem');
}
function addItemButton() {
var id = nlapiGetFieldValue('id');
if (id != "") {
var url = nlapiResolveURL('SUITELET', 'customscript_val', 'customdeploy1') + '&poId='+id;
window.open(url, '_blank', 'width=500,height=500');
}
}
Suitelet
function suitelet(request, response){
if(request.getMethod() == 'GET') {
var form = nlapiCreateForm('Add Item');
form.addSubmitButton('Submit');
var itemfield = form.addField('custpage_val', 'select', 'Item');
var id = request.getParameter('id');
var rec = nlapiLoadRecord('purchaseorder', id);
var vend = rec.getFieldValue('entity');
var search = nlapiSearchRecord(...search parameters...);
for (result in search){
if (search[result].getValue('vendor') == vend){
itemfield.addSelectOption(search[result].id, nlapiLookupField('inventoryitem', search[result].id, 'itemid'));
}
}
response.writePage(form);
} else {
var data = request.getParameter('custpage_item');
response.write('<html><body><script>window.opener.addItemButtonCallback("'+data+'"); window.close();</script></body></html>');
}
}

Use nlapiGetFieldValue('entity') on the clientscript and pass it to the Suitelet using a query parameter just like you are doing with poId (if you do this you might not even need poId after all + no need to load the record on the suitelet).
Also, you might want to optimize your code by running one search passing an array of itemids instead of calling nlapiLookupField for each item.
You might need to modify your beforeLoad so the entity is inserted dynamically when the button is pressed (I cant remember if clientscript button does this) . Something like this:
var suiteletURL = nlapiResolveURL('SUITELET', 'customscript_val', 'customdeploy1');
var script = "var entity = nlapiGetFieldValue('entity'); var url = '" + suiteletURL + "'&entityId=' + entity;window.open(url, '_blank', 'width=500,height=500')";
var button = form.addButton('custpage_addItemButton', 'Add Item', script);

How do I return a list from a custom object in Salesforce using javascript on a button?

I have a custom object in Salesforce called Website_Role__c. This object has a list of people associated with a store with different roles (Owner, Mentor, etc.).
Using JavaScript in a Salesforce button on Account:
The desired behavior is a user clicks the button and a dialog pops up with the list of people in the Website_Role__c for that Account. There would be a checkbox next to each person allowing the user to select them.
We are using eSign (formerly EchoSign). This button is a "Send with eSign" button that will be used to send an agreement to the list of people from Website_Role__c.
This is where I am at now:
/*My Attempt*/
{
!REQUIRESCRIPT("/soap/ajax/19.0/connection.js")
} //adds the proper code for inclusion of AJAX toolkit
var url = parent.location.href; //string for the URL of the current page
var records = {!GETRECORDIDS($ObjectType.Website_Role__c)
}; //grabs the Website Role records for the currently selected store
var updateRecords = []; //array for holding records that this code will ultimately update
if (records[0] == null) { //if the button was clicked but there was no record selected
alert("Please select at least one person to send to."); //alert the user that they didn't make a selection
} else { //otherwise, there was a person selected
for (var a = 0; a < records.length; a++) { //for all records
var update_Website_Role__c = new sforce.SObject("Website_Role__c"); //create a new sObject for storing updated record details
//This is where I get lost. Not sure if this is even the correct approach
}
//??
parent.location.href = url; //refresh the page
}
I would greatly appreciate any help you can provide.
Thank you

Try something like this:
{!REQUIRESCRIPT("/soap/ajax/29.0/connection.js")}
var query = sforce.connection.query("SELECT Owner__c, Mentor__c FROM Website_Role__c WHERE Account__c ='{!Account.Id}'");
var records = query.getArray("records");
alert("Owner is: " + records[0].Owner__c);
This assumes you have a reference field on your Website_Role object that points to the Account.

Fetch random excerpt from Wikipedia (Javascript, client-only)

I have a web page that asks the user for a paragraph of text, then performs some operation on it. To demo it to lazy users, I'd like to add an "I feel lucky" button that will grab some random text from Wikipedia and populate the inputs.
How can I use Javascript to fetch a sequence of text from a random Wikipedia article?
I found some examples of fetching and parsing articles using the Wikipedia API, but they tend to be server side. I'm looking for a solution that runs entirely from the client and doesn't get scuppered by same origin policy.
Note random gibberish is not sufficient; I need human-readable sentences that make sense.

My answer builds on the technique suggested here.
The tricky part is formulating the correct query string:
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&generator=random&prop=extracts&exchars=500&format=json&callback=onWikipedia
generator=random selects a random page
prop=extracts and exchars=500 retrieves a 500 character extract
format=json returns JSON-formatted data
callback= causes that data to be wrapped in a function call so it can be treated like any other <script> and injected into your page (see JSONP), thus bypassing cross-domain barriers.
requestid can optionally be added, with a new value each time, to avoid stale results from the browser cache (required in IE9)
The page served by the query is something that looks like this (I've added whitespace for readability):
onWikipedia(
{"query":
{"pages":
{"12362520":
{"pageid":12362520,
"ns":0,
"title":"Power Building",
"extract":"<p>The <b>Power Building<\/b> is a historic commercial building in
the downtown of Cincinnati, Ohio, United States. Built in 1903, it
was designed by Harry Hake. It was listed on the National Register
of Historic Places on March 5, 1999. One week later, a group of
buildings in the northeastern section of downtown was named a
historic district, the Cincinnati East Manufacturing and Warehouse
District; the Power Building is one of the district's contributing
properties.<\/p>\n<h2> Notes<\/h2>"
} } } }
)
Of course you'll get a different article each time.
Here's a full, working example which you can try out on JSBin.
<HTML><BODY>
<p><textarea id="textbox" style="width:350px; height:150px"></textarea></p>
<p><button type="button" id="button" onclick="startFetch(100, 500)">
Fetch random Wikipedia extract</button></p>
<script type="text/javascript">
var textbox = document.getElementById("textbox");
var button = document.getElementById("button");
var tempscript = null, minchars, maxchars, attempts;
function startFetch(minimumCharacters, maximumCharacters, isRetry) {
if (tempscript) return; // a fetch is already in progress
if (!isRetry) {
attempts = 0;
minchars = minimumCharacters; // save params in case retry needed
maxchars = maximumCharacters;
button.disabled = true;
button.style.cursor = "wait";
}
tempscript = document.createElement("script");
tempscript.type = "text/javascript";
tempscript.id = "tempscript";
tempscript.src = "http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php"
+ "?action=query&generator=random&prop=extracts"
+ "&exchars="+maxchars+"&format=json&callback=onFetchComplete&requestid="
+ Math.floor(Math.random()*999999).toString();
document.body.appendChild(tempscript);
// onFetchComplete invoked when finished
}
function onFetchComplete(data) {
document.body.removeChild(tempscript);
tempscript = null
var s = getFirstProp(data.query.pages).extract;
s = htmlDecode(stripTags(s));
if (s.length > minchars || attempts++ > 5) {
textbox.value = s;
button.disabled = false;
button.style.cursor = "auto";
} else {
startFetch(0, 0, true); // retry
}
}
function getFirstProp(obj) {
for (var i in obj) return obj[i];
}
// This next bit borrowed from Prototype / hacked together
// You may want to replace with something more robust
function stripTags(s) {
return s.replace(/<\w+(\s+("[^"]*"|'[^']*'|[^>])+)?>|<\/\w+>/gi, "");
}
function htmlDecode(input){
var e = document.createElement("div");
e.innerHTML = input;
return e.childNodes.length === 0 ? "" : e.childNodes[0].nodeValue;
}
</script>
</BODY></HTML>
One downside of generator=random is you often get talk pages or generated content that are not actual articles. If anyone can improve the query string to limit it to quality articles, that would be great!

Query String for pre-filling html form field

I manage a website for an organization that has separate chapter sites. There is a membership signup form that is on the main website that each chapter links to. On the form there is a dropdown box that allows a person to choose the chapter they want to join. What I would like to do is have each chapter website use a specific link to the form that will preselect their chapter from the dropdown box.
After searching the web, I found that I will probably need to use a Javascript function to utilize a Query String. With all my searching, I still can't figure out the exact code to use. The page is a basic HTML page...no php and it is hosted on a linux server.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you format your url like this:
www.myorg.com?chapter=1
You could add this script to your html head:
function getparam(name) {
name = name.replace(/[\[]/, "\\\[").replace(/[\]]/, "\\\]");
var regexS = "[\\?&]" + name + "=([^&#]*)";
var regex = new RegExp(regexS);
var results = regex.exec(window.location.href);
if (results == null)
return "";
else
return results[1];
}
function loadform()
{
var list = document.getElementById("mychapterdropdown");
var chapter = getparam("chapter");
if (chapter>=0 && chapter < list.options.length)
{
list.selectedIndex = chapter;
}
}
The in your html body tag:
<body onload="loadform();" >
Could probably add more validation checks but that's the general idea.

It sounds like what you are looking for are GET or POST requests. For instance, if your user selects "Chapter A" from your form and hits select, you can allow redirects from another site (for instance http://www.yoursite.com/form.html?chapter=A) to allow Chapter A to be preselected. In Javascript this is done by
var chapter="";
var queryString = location.search.substring(1);
if ( queryString.length > 0 ) {
var getdata = queryString.split("&");
var keyvalues;
for(var i=0; i < getdata.length; i++){
keyvalues = getdata.split("=");
}
} else {
chapter = "Not Found";
}
document.getElementById( "ChapterID").value = keyvalues['chapter'];
This is untested, so don't hold me to it :).

maybe something using parse_url
$params = parse_url()
$query = $params['query'];
$query_pairs = explode('&',$query);
$key_val = array();
foreach($query_pairs as $key => $val){
$key_val[$key] = $val;
}
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.parse-url.php

You would probably have to use an dynamic ajax content. Use the following javascript to read the querystring, then load the html file in that div using this javascript.
