Call a Google App Maker App with a parameter

Question

Hello i am new here so if i ask a stupid question please forgive me.

We at AppAtSchool are working with Google ApMaker and we want to call a published App with 2 parameters. How can we read those in App Maker? Thanks in advance!

You need to elaborate and provide more information on what exactly you want to achieve and have tried already but didn't work. — herrbischoff, Jul 04 '17 at 20:01

I'm guessing, that you are trying to read page URL parameters. In this case you can pass parameters like this:

https://script.google.com/<SomeMagic>/exec/?param1=value1&param2=value2#PageName

And then read them in page onAttach event(https://developers.google.com/appmaker/ui/logic#events):

google.script.url.getLocation(function(location) {
  var params = location.parameter;
  var param1 = params.param1;
  var param2 = params.param2;

  // Use parameters...
});

Maybe you also will need a way to genarate such links with parameters:

you can call your application with url something like this: script.google.com/blablabla/#viewname/paramValue, and take param on client side and send it to server side.

If you pass parameters to your App Maker app through URL parameters, your app can read the parameters using the google.script.url.getLocation method:

google.script.url.getLocation(function(location) {
  console.log(location.parameters);
  console.log(location.hash);
});
