Step 1: Obtain an access token

As before, you have to first get an access token. This is a one-time step.

1. Open your web browser and login to your Google Account

2. Go to:

   1. Live Forms Online Cloud customers: https://app.frevvo.com/google/consent

   2. Live Forms In-house customers: http://<your frevvo server domain name>/google/consent
3. Copy and Save the access token. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT. The token is used as the password for  wizards and rules. 

4. Click on the Accept button.

Step 2: Add the Business Rule

We’ve created a simple example form. Select the employee, a location and a new extension number. Click the Update Google Sheet button, wait a few seconds and see that the sheet was successfully updated. We did this using this rule:

var x;

    if (Connect.clicked) {
        var headers = ‘ {“
            user”: ”sales @frevvo.com”,
            ”password”: ” < access token > ”
        }’;
        var readquery = ‘/google/spreadsheets / query / key / < spreadsheetkey > /w/Employees’;
        eval(‘x = ’+http.get(readquery, headers));

        var opts = [”];
        for (var i = 0; i < x.results.length; i++) {
            opts[i + 1] = x.results[i].employeeid + ‘ = ’+x.results[i].firstname + ‘‘ +x.results[i].lastname;
        }
        EId.options = opts;
    }

1. It’s triggered by clicking on the Update Google Sheet button.
2. We setup headers and an update query using your access token and spreadsheet key (the long ID in the URL of the Google Sheet).
3. Add updateparams: we’re updating location and extension with new values.
4. Run the update – perform an http.put() and eval the results.

Try it yourself using the sample form.
