Google Forms is a great tool--easy to create, easy to use, etc. I was recently at a meetup talking to users about Google Cloud Platform and someone...

I am a complete newby trying to connect my google forms to Google Cloud for use in Firebase for a corona-response team in the Netherlands. I get an error running the first Cloud Function.
The trigger seems ok , but cannot be tested
Hi Jouwert, happy to help. What's the error?
I am trying to upload screenshot but I fail ...
This is what Google Cloud gives me back:
Implementatiefout:
Function failed on loading user code. Error message: Code in file index.js can't be loaded.
Is there a syntax error in your code?
Detailed stack trace: /srv/index.js:1
(function (exports, require, module, __filename, __dirname) { def form_trigger(request):
^^^^^^^^^^^^

The trigger script in my google form is
// Replace with the URL to your deployed Cloud Function
var url = "us-central1-inspired-rush-271907.c..."
// This function will be called when the form is submitted
function onSubmit(event) {
// The event is a FormResponse object:
// developers.google.com/apps-script/...
var formResponse = event.response;
// Gets all ItemResponses contained in the form response
// developers.google.com/apps-script/...
var itemResponses = formResponse.getItemResponses();
// Gets the actual response strings from the array of ItemResponses
var responses = itemResponses.map(function getResponse(e) { return e.getResponse(); });
// Post the payload as JSON to our Cloud Function
UrlFetchApp.fetch(
url,
{
"method": "post",
"payload": JSON.stringify({
"responses": responses
})
});
};
But maybe the Cloud Function is wrong. I was not so sure as to how to implement this script from your instruction:
def form_trigger(request):
payload = request.get_json(silent=True)
print(f"Payload was: {payload}")
return "OK"
Having the same issue
Hi Im also having a problem after setting it up my google form and cloud function. I tested them both separately, like the trigger works completely without fail and cloud function work if executed directly cloud function dashboard i can see right away the logs however when doing an actual test to the form like submitting the form i don't get any cloud function logs.
Hi there, can you share some more details? What does your Cloud Functions and Apps Script trigger look like?
Hi Dustin, I'm just following the whole instruction you shared. But I cant catch it from the logs it seems that its not being executed when i'm submitting a form.
Perhaps a silly question, but did you make sure to update
var url = "<YOUR CLOUD FUNCTION URL>"?ow yes and it works and it prints ok when accessing that url - us-central1-xxxxxx-csapps.cloudfun...
From the logs i can only see the image attached when I'm manually triggering it from the dashboard. See dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/i/...
It seems that this doesn't work anymore. Confirmed that trigger doesn't execute the URL anymore.
I couldn't get it to work, for some reason the data I was receiving in Firebase Cloud Functions was malformed, I had to add the following to the fetch parameters:
contentType: "application/json"
Then, the payload could be accessed from the function directly from the body object
PS found this solution from stackoverflow.com/questions/629020...
Thanks for the post. I tried to add this functionality to a form on my own google site, and I mostly got it working; however I'm stuck on the part where you use JSON to pass things between google scripts. The google script throws an error when I include one of the semicolons that are in your script, but leaving it off results in nothing being passed to the google cloud function. I attached something that shows what I am trying to do and how I'm trying to do it. Any help debugging the JSON statement would be appreciated. Thanks!
Where you able to run it? We may have a similar issue. Do you see json data from gcp logs?
Is there a way to integrate Google Cloud functions in forms created via API?
