We have created code to pause/activate scheduled salesforce marketing cloud automations but we noticed that those actions doesn't actually being saved within automations. Those actions only change the UI of the automations. So, if we need to actually pause/make active the automation, we need to open each automation and save it.
We are looking for API call that will save the automations after we pause/activate them.
Thank you.

Trying to work out a zap and need some assistance..
I'm wanting to use the zapier scheduler, and at a time chosen, export contacts in a hubspot list to a google sheet..
effectively, exporting a list to a google sheet, but only processing daily.
i can only seem to do it, running a scheduler then when a new hubspot contact is created...
any thoughts?
TIA
Do you have HubSpot Professional or Enterprise (Marketing, Sales, Service or Operations)?
If you have, you can do that in two ways:
Using Google Sheets app from HubSpot's Marketplace and HubSpot's Workflows (HubSpot Professional required).
Sending a webhook to Zapier and then doing the other Zapier automation (HubSpot Enterprise required).
Personally, I would recommend the first one. With HubSpot's Workflows, you can set timers and delays to do that just once per day.
If you don't have HubSpot Professional or Enterprise to use Workflows, I would recommend setting a trigger at Zapier. Can be anything you desire, like when Contact ID is known or something like that - in this case, Zapier will be triggered just after the contact has been created.
I am currently trying to connect a community connector (apps script) to GA4 in order to retrieve data and modify it before sending it to data studio. I have done this for Universal Analytics properties easily with advanced services; However, Since the Advanced services Analytics option does not work for GA4 properties I have been looking into retrieving data from analytics using fetchUrl. I am wondering if this is the best/only way to connect to GA4?
I have received input for my current code (basic fetchUrl code) which suggested that I would need to access the cloud api for authentication. Now I am wondering if I actually have to do these extra steps to connect to a google source from app script? The reason why I am unsure is because supermetrics has a GA4 connector which does not require any extra steps and of course connects to a GA4 property with a simple authentication method. I would like to essentially create that same connection in app script. Any advice would also be appreciated.
Also I would love to hear if there is any information on when we can expect advanced services to work for GA4.
Currently you will need to use the new Google Analytics Data API (GA4), however in this moment it is an early preview version of the API and is subject to change.
I don't know what the supermetrics plugin does specifically, however i recommend to link the automatic export of GA4 data in BigQuery and connect to it.
Google has not released any deadline for the release of this advanced service. I believe that before this it will have to make this whole new system stable since every week it undergoes updates and adjustments.
When I create a event in my calendar I have the option "Out of Office". How I can create a event about GScript with the function "Out of Office"?
Here you can find my current sheet incl. my script: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/17zdmhWr9EUrY_-6ZVrYWggf5kAnvEhKGdGsJbxW7Px4/edit?usp=sharing
How can I add the command? or is there a feature which I do not know?
Answer:
Unfortunately, in its current form, this isn't possible through the Calendar API.
More Information:
Google Apps Script and the G Suite service integration it provides are effectively wrappers for the already existing APIs for the services they connect to (Calendar, Sheets, Docs, etc). As a result, given that the feature is not available through the API, Apps Script does not have this ability either.
Feature Request:
I did a search on Google's Issue Tracker and there are a couple of highly requested Feature Requests for the creation of Out of office events through the Calendar API already.
You can find these Feature Requests here and here, which you can give a star (☆) in the top left to let Google know more people wish for this request to be implemented.
We're developing an application and we want to setup a bi-directional sync with Google Contacts.
The process: They setup their Google Accounts and the application make the sync between their Google account and our database.
The first approach is to create a CRON that will fetch modifications to the API but this is not very efficient as we'll need to run the CRON very often.
Do you know if there is any way Google can "notify us" of a modifications ?
Maybe from a script we execute on their servers directly ? (Like Google Scripts) We'll then be able to call our app to make a new fetch.
There is no method to have changes "pushed" to your app. However, when polling for changes, you can minimize the traffic by using the updated-min parameter as described at:
https://developers.google.com/google-apps/contacts/v3/reference#Parameters
and:
https://developers.google.com/google-apps/contacts/v3/#retrieving_contacts_using_query_parameters
I am thinking about app that will use google form and I need to create forms from that app. Is there a way how can I create form in google docs without using website but through some api or some other way?
I can offer an idea for a solution using Google App Script.
Since the beginning of 2013 you can create new forms using the App Script Forms Service API quite easily.
var form = FormApp.create(title)
.setDescription(description)
.setConfirmationMessage('Thanks for responding!')
;
The problem now is how to get that App Script running from your non App Script code.
You can use App Script to create a Web App that reacts to HTTP GET requests.
So putting it together, you may be able to create an App Script Web App that reacts to a GET request and when it gets the right URL parameters, it creates the form.
(Nov 2020) Yes, it is possible to programmatically create Google Forms. You can do it with Google Apps Script using its Forms service. You can also extend the code to read in the contents from Google Docs (with Apps Script's Document service) and use it for the creation of Google Forms.
I created a Google Workspace (formerly G Suite) Add-on, which you can think of as a Google Docs extension, called GFormIt. Its original purpose was intended for teachers to write exams/quizzes, possibly with answers, in Google Docs, then automatically convert them to Google Forms to distribute to students who submit their answers into Google Sheets (the destination for Google Forms submissions).
Furthermore, if you (the teacher) provided answers to your test questions, GFormIt would also auto-submit your answers to the Sheet as if you were a student. If you do that, and use a tool like Flubaroo to grade the exam, you could designate your row in the Sheet as “the answer key.” You can learn more about how it works, including viewing a short video, at the GFormIt page linked above.
This Google Docs add-on, along with others for Google Docs, Sheets, Slides, Forms, etc., are all certified/validated by Google and available for free to anyone from the Google Workspace Marketplace. (However, your admins may have to grant permissions for you to try to install them to your corporate Workspace account.) If interested in building your own add-on, please see the developer documentation and perhaps some of my introductory videos to get started, the most relevant being the one linked to at the top of this answer.
Apps Script is a serverless Google technology, meaning you write your code (using JavaScript) in the browser, and it is hosted by & executed on Google servers. If you wanted to create your own web app (and hosted anywhere), you would have to wait for a Google Forms REST API which does not exist at the time of this writing. (If we ever launch one, you'll find its documentation at https://developers.google.com/forms along with the others like Sheets https://developers.google.com/sheets, Gmail https://developers.google.com/gmail, Drive https://developers.google.com/drive, etc.)
Earlier this year (Mar 2022) the new Google Forms Api graduated from Beta. It is more powerful that the previous versions and caters for two main use cases:
Automated form creation and editing: Enables automated form creation
and editing. Enables rapid form generation from large volume question
banks or other data backends.
Reaction to Form responses: The API also enables developers to build
automations for acting on incoming responses. Examples include
developing real-time dashboards or visualizations and triggering
business workflows based on response data.
We have used it to build an integration that Creates documents and slides each time a form is completed: www.portant.co/google-forms-to-docs and it works really well.
I think the other key use case looks like it would be a good fit for you and others looking for a solution like this.
Cheers, James
Sorry, the API doesn't support programmatically creating forms.
