How can I trigger a Google Spreadsheet when a JotFrom arrives?

    What I want to do:

      1. Webform collects information and sends it to a Google spreadsheet. 

      2. When the form updates, it triggers a custom script that sends the data to an email address.  

    I can do this using Google Forms, but when I use a Jot Form, the trigger is not pulled.  How can I set up a trigger in the spreadsheet that will be activated by the JotForm?

    Hi,

    I would suggest taking a look at the installable Google Apps triggers in Google Spreadsheet.

    You can see more about this here:

    https://developers.google.com/apps-script/guides/triggers/installable

    and I believe that you should use them with onPOST. You can see more about that here:

    https://developers.google.com/apps-script/guides/triggers/#getting_started

    Do let us know how it goes and if you have any further questions.

    Best Regards,
    Ben
