'Google form script -> how to change subfolder name + generate PDF of responses
I am an amateur when it comes to code (I work with marketing) and tried tinkering with a script for Google Forms and ended up not finding a workable solution.
What I aim to achieve:
- Currently, the script creates subfolders with a unique ID, while I'd prefer for it to be based on one of the responses
- Generate a PDF with the responses for each form entry, which will be in the same subfolder as the attachments
As standing, I have this code to send attachments to a shared drive at my company:
const PARENT_FOLDER_ID = 'folderIDhere';
const initialize = () => {
const form = FormApp.getActiveForm();
ScriptApp.newTrigger('onFormSubmit').forForm(form).onFormSubmit().create();
};
const onFormSubmit = ({ response } = {}) => {
try {
// Get a list of all files uploaded with the response
const files = response
.getItemResponses()
// We are only interested in File Upload type of questions
.filter((itemResponse) => itemResponse.getItem().getType().toString() === 'FILE_UPLOAD')
.map((itemResponse) => itemResponse.getResponse())
// The response includes the file ids in an array that we can flatten
.reduce((a, b) => [...a, ...b], []);
if (files.length > 0) {
// Each form response has a unique Id
const subfolderName = response.getId();
const parentFolder = DriveApp.getFolderById(PARENT_FOLDER_ID);
const subfolder = parentFolder.createFolder(subfolderName);
files.forEach((fileId) => {
// Move each file into the custom folder
DriveApp.getFileById(fileId).moveTo(subfolder);
});
}
} catch (f) {
Logger.log(f);
}
};
(I have removed the unique ID from the first line for privacy concerns). The code is from this blog post: https://www.labnol.org/file-uploads-folder-google-forms-201226
I'd like advice on how I can change this script to achieve both goals listed above.
