I am trying to have my fill out a google form and have it autogenerate emails to parents. Here is the code, I keep getting a syntax error. Help?
function emailFormToParent(e) {
var studentName = e.values[1];
var parentName = e.values[2];
var parentEmail = e.values[3];
var generalclass = e.values[4];
var assignments = e.values[5];
var assessments = e.values[6];
var actionplan = e.values[7];
var emailSubject = "Monthly Parent Email " + studentName;
var emailBody = " ";
emailBody += "Dear " + parentName + “\n”;
emailBody += general class + “.\n”;
emailBody += assignments + “.\n”;
emailBody += assessments + “\n”;
emailBody += actionplan + “.\n”;
emailBody += “Sincerely,\n” + studentName;
MailApp.sendEmail(parentEmail, emailSubject, emailBody, {cc: ‘myemail’})
}
Try changing all the quotes to normal quotation characters (" and ') and try removing the space, as indicated below.
function emailFormToParent(e) {
var studentName = e.values[1];
var parentName = e.values[2];
var parentEmail = e.values[3];
var generalclass = e.values[4];
var assignments = e.values[5];
var assessments = e.values[6];
var actionplan = e.values[7];
var emailSubject = 'Monthly Parent Email ' + studentName;
var emailBody = ' ';
emailBody += 'Dear ' + parentName + '\n';
emailBody += generalclass + '.\n'; // <============= this line was "general class" with a space
emailBody += assignments + '.\n';
emailBody += assessments + '\n';
emailBody += actionplan + '.\n';
emailBody += 'Sincerely,\n' + studentName;
MailApp.sendEmail(parentEmail, emailSubject, emailBody, { cc: 'myemail' });
}
