Is it possible to send emails onSubmit() with Google Apps Script Custom Web Forms just like we can do using mailApp with Google Forms?
I am currently transferring google forms code into html forms but I can't seem to find how I would be able to send email notifications like I have done for Google Forms.
Any pointers/links will be really helpful.
Both API's, GmailApp and MailApp, have the possibility to send a HTML body via the advanced options. I used below code and was able to send HTML formatted text through both of them.
// global var
var html =
'<body>' +
'<h2> Test </h2><br />' +
'<p> Greetings Earthling </p>' +
'</body>'
function testGmailApp() {
GmailApp.sendEmail(
'your@emailaddress.com', // recipient
'test GmailApp', // subject
'test', { // body
htmlBody: html // advanced options
}
);
}
function testMailApp() {
MailApp.sendEmail(
'your@emailaddress.com', // recipient
'test MailApp', // subject
'test', { // body
htmlBody: html // advanced options
}
);
}
The answer validation in Google Forms could be done with Google Apps Script after the students submit their responses, i.e. by using onFormSubmit event.
Once the answer was submitted, you could use the Class File to get properties like:
It's worth to say that in the 2014 summer Google launched Google Classroom to help teachers to manage the assignments of their classes among other tasks.

You need to use the
google.script.run.myServerFunctionName()client side API. You will need to use that anyway, in order to send the form data, unless you are using a HTTPS GET or POST request to send the data somewhere.Apps Script documentation - google.script.run
