通过 Google 表格生成和发送 PDF

编码级别:初级
时长:15 分钟
项目类型:使用自定义菜单的自动化操作

目标

  • 了解该解决方案的用途。
  • 了解 Apps Script 服务在解决方案中的作用。
  • 设置脚本。
  • 运行脚本。

关于此解决方案

在 Google 表格中,使用电子表格中的信息自动创建 PDF。PDF 生成后,您可以通过电子邮件从表格中直接将其发送出去。此解决方案侧重于创建自定义账单,但您可以根据自己的需求更新模板和脚本。

账单模板的屏幕截图

工作原理

该脚本使用账单模板工作表作为模板来生成 PDF。信息从其他电子表格当中提取并填入模板的特定单元格中。为了通过电子邮件发送 PDF,脚本会通过 Invoices 表格迭代,以获取 PDF 链接和相关的电子邮件地址。而且脚本会创建通用的电子邮件主题和正文,并将 PDF 添加为附件,然后再发送。

Apps Script 服务

此解决方案使用以下服务:

  • 电子表格服务 - 提供生成账单 PDF 文件和创建电子邮件所需的所有信息。当用户点击自定义菜单中的重置模板时,从模板中清除数据。
  • 实用程序服务 - 在迭代每个客户时使用 sleep() 方法暂停脚本,以确保向每个账单添加正确的信息。
  • 网址提取服务 - 将账单模板工作表导出为 PDF 文件。
  • 脚本服务 - 授权网址提取服务访问电子表格。
  • 云端硬盘服务 - 为导出的 PDF 文件创建文件夹。将 PDF 文件附加到电子邮件中。
  • Gmail 服务 - 构建和发送电子邮件。

前提条件

如需使用此示例,您需要满足以下前提条件:

  • Google 账号(Google Workspace 账号可能需要管理员批准)。
  • 一个能够访问互联网的网络浏览器。

设置脚本

  1. 点击以下按钮可复制从 Google 表格生成并发送 PDF 电子表格。此解决方案的 Apps 脚本项目已附加到电子表格中。
    复制

  2. 依次点击扩展程序 > Google Apps 脚本

  3. Code.gs 文件中,更新以下变量:

    1. EMAIL_OVERRIDE 设置为 true
    2. EMAIL_ADDRESS_OVERRIDE 设置为您的电子邮件地址。
  4. 点击“保存”图标 “保存”图标

运行脚本

  1. 返回电子表格,然后依次点击生成并发送 PDF 文件 > 处理账单
  2. 根据提示为脚本授权。如果 OAuth 意见征求界面显示此应用未经验证警告,请依次选择高级 > 前往 {Project Name}(不安全)以继续操作。

  3. 再次依次点击生成并发送 PDF 文件 > 处理账单

  4. 如需查看 PDF 文件,请切换到账单工作表,然后点击账单链接列中的链接。

  5. 依次点击生成并发送 PDF 文件 > 发送电子邮件

  6. 请查看您的电子邮件,查看电子邮件和随附的 PDF 文件。由于您在上一部分中将 EMAIL_OVERRIDE 设置为 true,因此该脚本会将所有电子邮件发送到您为 EMAIL_ADDRESS_OVERRIDE 指定的电子邮件地址。如果您将 EMAIL_OVERRIDE 设置为 false,脚本会将电子邮件发送到“客户”工作表中列出的电子邮件地址。

  7. (可选)如需清除账单模板工作表中的数据,请依次点击生成并发送 PDF 文件 > 重置模板
