Save your custom form data into the Google Spreadsheet and get notified by email.
Setting up the Google Spreadsheet
1.
Go to https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets​
2.
Create a new blank spreadsheet
3. Place the names of each form field in first row. The name of the cells in the spreadsheet must match the name of the form inputs. The names are case-sensitive.
Configuring the Google Script
As we have set up our Google Spreadsheet with our form fields, we will write the script that will allow us to send the form data to it.
1.
From the spreadsheet we just created, go to the 'Tools' menu and select 'Script editor'.
2. This will open a new Google Script that will look something like this:
3. Copy the following code and paste into the editor.
1
var SHEET_NAME = 'Sheet1'; /* Sheet name where submitted form data is to be stored */
2
var RECEIVER_EMAIL = '[email protected]'; /* Email address at which submitted form will be sent */
3
​
4
var SCRIPT_PROP = PropertiesService.getScriptProperties(); /* New property service */
5
​
6
function doGet(e) {
7
  return handleResponse(e);
8
}

​
10
function handleResponse(e) {
11
​
12
  var lock = LockService.getPublicLock(); /* This prevents concurrent access write to data */
13
  lock.waitLock(30000); /* Wait for 30 seconds */
14
​
15
  try {
16
​
17
    var doc = SpreadsheetApp.openById(SCRIPT_PROP.getProperty('key')); /* Set where we will write the data */
18
    var sheet = doc.getSheetByName(SHEET_NAME);
19
​
20
    var headerRow = 1; /* Row on which header is present */
21
    var headers = sheet.getRange(1, 1, 1, sheet.getLastColumn()).getValues()[0];
22
    var nextRow = sheet.getLastRow() + 1; /* Get next row */
23
    var row = [];
24
​
25
    /* Loop through the header columns */
26
    for (i in headers) {
27
        if (headers[i] === 'timestamp') { /* If timestamp column is present */
28
          row.push(new Date());
29
        }
30
        else {
31
            row.push(e.parameters[headers[i]]); /* Use header name to get form data */
32
        }
33
    }
34
​
35
    sheet.getRange(nextRow, 1, 1, row.length).setValues([row]); /* Save row data into the sheet row */

Copied!
4. Save the script and give it an appropriate name. Then go to the 'Run' menu, then 'Run function' and select 'setup'.
You might be asked to give Google Scripts to use your Google account.
When you click 'Review Permissions', you might be prompted with this:
5. Once you have given your authorization, go to the 'Publish' menu and select 'Deploy as web app'.
6. You will then be presented with these options with which you have to customize the script.
The last two of these three options are extremely important to set correctly or you won’t be able to access your script with an AJAX request. You must execute the app as yourself 'Me' and you must give 'Anyone, even anonymous' access to the app. Without these settings your script will reject any request from a different server, like your form’s AJAX request, because it won’t be configured to allow for cross-origin resource sharing (CORS).
7. Once you have configured these options, go ahead and click 'Deploy'.
8. You will be prompted with the following dialog. Copy the URL.
9. Use the copied URL in your HTML form action attribute. This URL will be used to send the form via AJAX
