I have tried to implement your input but on my side I am still stuck at step 5.
No matter if I click on “set-up” or “import data”, the script keeps on asking my API and informs me that it is saved. But it never pops up with my list of forms…
Like the others, I am stuck at the point that it asks for my API token after going “Update from kobocat” → “Setup.” After entering it, I am not prompted to select the form I would like to use. Am I doing something wrong/is there anything I can do manually to connect it to the right form?
Perhaps separately, the execution hints also say that the UiApp API is deprecated.
Thanks!

I agree. This is why I have asked about Zapier updates so that Zapier can do the leg work of updating content in whatever service we use. Does anyone know of a way to use Zapier with Kobo?

The code is working for the projects I personally deal with, but I have not tested it exhaustively on a wide range of different surveys. You should consider this project experimental, and do your own testing.
If you have problems feel free to open an issue in github.

Hi, I was able to make it work by editing rows 188&119
var kobocat_users = JSON.parse(UrlFetchApp.fetch(‘KoBoCAT REST API’,getUrlFetchOptions()).getContentText());
var kobocat_username = ‘’;
hope that works… best

Do you have tool or addon do it?
Thank you much

You received this message because you are subscribed to a topic in the Google Groups “Kobo Users” group.
I made it work with your way! thanks a million for that!
Something maybe useful I found out is that it doesn’t shows the questions that are in a nested group. I solved it using only 1-level grouping but if anyone has any good idea it’s more than welcome

Like others here, I also had problems with the project that Tino linked, so I ended up having to write my own. You can find it here: https://github.com/pcurrier/KoboToolbox-GoogleApps-Scripts. It can pull data from kobo into a google sheet, and can also push from a google sheet back to the kobo server. It supports basic and token authentication (haven’t been able to get OAuth2 working yet).
The code is working for the projects I personally deal with, but I have not tested it exhaustively on a wide range of different surveys. You should consider this project experimental, and do your own testing.

i want to sync data from Kobotoolbox to Google sheet.
I tested Kobotoolbox sync with google sheet and it was worked, but Manually,
I mean((You must click on the Kobotoolbox button and then click on the entry then “Select the survey(s) to import” then choose “Import data into which sheet?” finally “Import survey data” for update the data from Kobo to excel sheet)).
Dear Ahmed,
I am glad that the Kobo-GSheet synch is working on your side. It is also working for me.
You can easily set up some automated time based triggers on any Google script. I have set up mine to update every 5 minutes.
Please follow this link which describes it well:
I hope this helps!

I try it, but I don’t know how to chose the forms form kobo to update the data to sheet,
for Example , I have form from Kobo the name is : Assessment GB and I have other, in google sheet I have Assessment_GB_2017 with other sheet , so, How I can automatically update the data from Assessment GB to Assessment_GB_2017.
please see the attache

The only issue I’ve found is when the Kobo form contains repeated groups of questions. In this case, only the first group of responses for each individual record gets imported into the Google Sheet like this:
When I export the XLS file from the Kobo website, however, each group is given its own tab. Do you think it could be possible to replicate this in the Google Sheets script as well?
Thanks again!

Hey Tino,
I have tried following the instruction but after completing the authorization part, when I re-run the code then it shows error. I’m able to cover till 7th instruction of installation. But then the code is showing some kind of error. I’m attaching the file alongwith. Please help me.
I’m using your script to import kobo data in a google sheet : everything works well, but the script doesn’t just import the new or updated data: it re-imports all the data each time and pastes them below the already downloaded data that are thus duplicated.
Could you please tell me if it’s normal (which means that I must clean the GSheet each time before importing) ?

Did you find a solution to the ‘Undefined’ problem?
