How can I get help using this tutorial?Feel free to post an issue describing in detail which steps you have gone through and what isn't working. To get a helpful response, please provide a working example that reproduces your issue. For example, see this sample CodePen.Can I get edit access to the example spreadsheet?No. This is being used to show a working example for anyone to copy, and an editable version could be broken accidentally, or maliciously, by any user.Why is the webpage forwarding to a bunch of text when I hit submit?You are not properly loading the required Javascript which submits the data via AJAX, or your browser does not support AJAX. Please see Part 2 and check your console logs in case you are finding errors.Why is the webpage not successfully submitting the form?Check your Javascript console logs. There could be an error while reading in the Javascript we have provided. There could be errors while submitting the form. It is required that your form have a class of gform, and also a data-email attribute if you have not set the TO_ADDRESS variable inside the Google Script file. Furthermore, the provided Javascript code also expects to see an email form element which it uses to check, a warning message for that element when an improper email is submitted, and then a thank-you div as well, which is shown after a form is successfully submitted. Please ensure that all of these HTML elements are in your form. See the sample file for code you can copy and paste. When you have all of these elements and a proper form set up, you should not see any error messages in your Javascript console when you hit submit.The webpage is saying my data was submitted, but why isn't my data being saved or sent to me?When you copied the spreadsheet and published the Google Script, did you set the permissions to "Anyone, even Anonymous"? This is required for the form to work, since anyone on the internet can hit send to give you their data. Be sure that you have deployed the proper version of the script and used "Manage versions..." when making changes.How do I change the emails this script sends?You can tweak the Google Script on the server to send emails to anyone and in whatever format you wish. This could be used to send a confirmation email to those contacting you, but we have not added this feature to this tutorial to avoid potential spamming. The sender of the email will always be the Google account you use to create the form/script, however. Further details on how to customize the email can be found in the MailApp API. You can instead use the GmailApp API which may be more flexible for certain use-cases.Is this secure? Can I use it for sensitive data?No. While data that is sent over POST may be more protected, the information could easily be intercepted by a third party or middleman, and Google has complete access to the data inside a Google Spreadsheet. Email is also not a very secure communication medium by default. We would recommend you invest in a secure platform and server for storing your data if this is a requirement.What if my data is sent or stored in the wrong order?If your data is in the wrong order, it is recommended to verify that you are loading the clientside JS correctly. The most effective way to do this is to place a debugger call inside the handleFormSubmit() function, and, if it hits the debugger and opens the respective Dev Tools for the broswer/environment, then the clientside JS is being loaded correctly. If the debugger isn't hit, then the JS is not either not loaded or not targeting your form, defaulting the data to a plain object which will have its own alphabetic ordering instead.
