Can I use scripts alongside or in reference to an Add-on's functions in Google Sheet? -
i've created google sheet in using autocrat add-on. i've created script takes farther actions triggered onformsubmit().
what notice if run script in script editor, executes fine , takes actions on spreadsheet want successfully. when submit new entry on form, however, doesn't run script - regardless of whether autocrat configured take action onformsubmit() or not. (this functionality added add-on authors in lastly couple of days).
this two-part question:
1 - there way script executing after (or before, in case doesn't matter) add-on thing?
(the autocrat developers have not yet posted code add-on on github i'm able speculate what's happening in there.)
2 - there way me trigger add-on's functionality script in different sheet? autocrat has "run merge" function can accessed pressing button in interface of sheet. able trigger user event in different sheet.
my instinct reply both these question 'wait developers release code' wanted see if more experience has other thoughts. help appreciated.
1 - there way script executing after (or before, in case doesn't matter) add-on thing?
you aren't able coordinate actions of add-on , own script. add-ons can provide custom functions (with @customfunction jsdoc tags) available sheets have enabled add-on, namespace of add-on otherwise locked down. none of symbols visible own attached scripts.
2 - there way me trigger add-on's functionality script in different sheet? autocrat has "run merge" function can accessed pressing button in interface of sheet. able trigger user event in different sheet.
aside new installable triggers, there no provisions autonomous or "remote control" capabilities in add-ons. (if allowed, example, add-on run web service document, respond remote-control actions.)
as far having separate script "press button" that's on sheet, sorry. there's no api manipulate ui @ level, makes sense security standpoint.
now, said, submit trigger should run. name isn't magic, need create sure installed. (resources > current project's triggers...)
