in a Google form, I forgot to click on the field that collects/queries the email address. Is it possible to find out in the background of the form, from which email address the user has sent the form?
Many thanks for the help.
Kind regards
Heike
I hope I can find out from which E-Mailadress the customer has answered!
Many thanks

My question is similar to this one that I found on Stack overflow, but the answer didn't quite fix my problem "How can I change accounts when I am trying to open up a restricted Google Form?" I thought I would add this for reference.
The specific issue I have isn't easy to describe, but I'll try my best (this is my first use of Stack overflow!)
I have set up a new Google form to be used as a membership form. I wanted this form to be pre-populated based on data in a spreadsheet. I have managed all this using a Mail merge addon in google sheets (Mail merge with attachments). Within the spreadsheet I have the recipient's email address, a bunch of other (pre-filled) information and a customised link to the google from, which starts with "=HYPERLINK("https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/". The link works for the recipients, but it doesn't default to the email address I sent it to when they use the link to log into the google form. It defaulted to the email address that the form was created in (the club email address). As I only wanted one response from each recipient, when one person had completed the form others could not do so. The reason I mention the above question is that with a slight adjustment to the link - "=HYPERLINK("https://docs.google.com/forms/u/0/d/e/" ie adding in the u/0/ it will open up with the 'primary' email account of the user. However, this did not necessarily resolve the problem as some users had their primary and secondary accounts back to front. What I would really like is for the link to open using the same email account as the one I have sent the email to. Any help on achieving this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
I would like to create a Google forms that will help me to track problems at work. Employees would fill the form if they experience any problem at a specific station. I do not want problems to be reported more than once.
So let's say employee 1 fill the form to tell me there is a problem at station 4 and the next day employee 2 realises the same problem at station 4. I would like him to see within the Google Forms that the problem has already been submitted.
Is there any way to do that?
I finally decided to create a form that sends the results to a spreadsheet. I embedded both the form and the spreadsheet on a website, so people can see what's been submitted already. Not the ideal solution, but it'll work just fine. Thank you for your help!
I am using Session.getActiveUser().getUserLoginId() to fetch the current user's email id but other than creator of the spreadsheet it is returning empty string. I have also used getEffetiveUser() but no hopes.
I will be appreciate if i could get some suggestions on this.
Many Thanks in advance.

Quote from the Google documentation:
If security policies do not allow access to the user's identity, User.getEmail() returns a blank string
Note that User in the above code is a sort of "placeholder" for the "User" class, which the Session.getActiveUser() returns.
If your script is set to:
web app deployed to "execute as me"
You can not get the user email.
So, the one thing I can tell you for sure, is that your code does not have permission to get the user info. I can't tell you why, because I don't know the conditions and settings under which your code is running.

This is what I have to do in my Rails application, and I appreciate any good insight from anyone.
When a user signs up in my application, I want to send an email to his provided email address to see if the address is valid. On top of that, I want to verify that the email is an address of certain colleges, such as ["US college", "KO college", "NY college"], etc.
I've succeeded in setting up an action mailer, so all I have to do is just adding a boolean confirmed and a college columns in my users table.
I wanted to know the proper and clean way of doing this. Also, if there is a gem that packs nicely all the college names with their corressponding .edu emails, like {[harvard.edu, Harvard University]}, I would appreciate it a lot too.
Any advice to implement the function I want would be appreciate greatly!
I'm not really sure where to start with this one, but here is what I'm looking to do.
Lets say you've registered at a website (yourwebsite.com). Your username/email is joe#shmoe.com.
If you email newrecord#yourwebsite.com, I'd like a new record created by your user (meaning you have to email it from a registered user's email - such as joe#shmoe.com).
I'd also like to add some variables in the email body, that can be set to their respective fields in the new record.
Does anyone know if this is possible?
sure is possible - have a look at http://cloudmailin.com/ too - they do all the receiving side of things for you and then just 'post' the email into your application.
It's definitely possible - that functionality is available in basecamp.
I've never done it myself, but looks like this article describes how to process incoming emails in rails. Good luck!
