###INSTRUCTIONS:

  • Build a google form with a question that you want to collect data for, and make sure it is public.

  • View the form : Form > Go To Live Form

  • View the source of this page, and capture the URL in the action attribute of the form tag: ex: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/18LD6ueL10_lLVAKpDgfmLpUBlzoRFEZSoMod57MXfH0/formResponse?hl=en_US getting rid of everything after formResponse?.

  • Now view the source of your question input field, and copy the name attribute, ex: entry.1000000. Do the same with the submit button, ex: <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit">.

  • Replace the baseURL in the index.html file with the form action URL you copied from your Google Form.

  • Replace the submitRef variable in the index.html file with the name and value from your submit button, ex: &submit=Submit.

  • In our form, we are collecting names, so we've given our form an ID of input-form and we've given our field an ID of input-name. You should change this to whatever information you are collecting in your form, and change the javascript so that JQuery is grabbing the right field's value. For example, if your form has an ID of emailForm and your field has an ID of input id="emailField" your javascript should be changed to:

$('#emailForm').one('submit',function(){
    var inputField = encodeURIComponent($('#emailField').val());
    ...
    $('#email').addClass('active').val('Thank You!');
});
  • Style your page how you like, put in any sort of behavior you want to have happen when someone submits an entry (we're just having the form field say 'Thank You!'), then put these files on a web server somewhere, and you should now be able to submit data to your custom form, and see it appear in your Google Spreadsheet.
