The post has everything you need to know plus a link to a gist with all the code.
Recently I raised a support ticket with a tech company I was subscribed to where we were trying to resolve an integration issue I had with their service. Once we had it all resolved they followed up with a feedback form. That feedback form just happened to be a Google Form.
In this tutorial, I’ll walk you through accessing the prefill tool in Google Forms. Then, if you are keen on doing some coding, we’ll create a little custom feedback form for unique users that we will deliver via email.
Nice tutorial from Scott ‘Yagi’ Donald on using prefilled Google Form links. For beginners the post includes everything you need to know. For more experienced developers Scott includes some nice code for handling Google Sheet data.

Interesting solution that popped up in the Google Apps Script community for logging email opens using Google Apps Script. The post includes a detailed walkthrough for setting this up as well as some caveats about reliability.
“When was the last time this sheet was uploaded?” Probably one of the biggest requests I get is how do I add a timestamp to check when some particular range was changed. Well, [here] is a simple function you can add to your Google Sheets doc to add the formula LASTEDIT()
The question of recording when a cell/range has been edited has landed in my inbox before. I’ve not tested this solution myself but from the scan of the script worth noting that this solution will only work on one cell array per Google Sheet, so some modification might be required if you have more than one range you’d like to monitor.

Get your Zoom meeting settings via the Zoom API and OAuth, using a Web App in Google Apps Script. Here we will access user settings in your Zoom account, specifically the meeting settings, and log the results in a Google Sheet.

This will log the results in a Google Sheet to help you understand what is happening and the type of data that is returned.

Format (bold) a single word or a group of words automatically in sheets, using google apps script.
This example from Sourabh Choraria is a nice example of how you can apply text formatting to parts of Google Sheet cell values. Reading Sourabh post got me thinking if having an Add-on or built in feature that used basic markdown for cell formatting would be useful? e.g. typing `I just love **bold text**` would result in the cell being displayed as `I just love bold text`.
We run a lot of things through Google Sheets and Slack here at August. It’s a way of connecting and sharing information quickly and transparently with our clients and our team. We’ve put together a cheat sheet of a few simple Google Apps Script functions, along with the Slack API, so you can do the same.
Great post if you are looking for a quick start for interacting with Slack using Google Apps Script. As well as a detailed ‘how-to’ the post also includes a video walkthrough to help if you get stuck with any of the steps.
