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?
Thanks

When the setup is run, following error occurs " UiApp has been deprecated. Please use HtmlService instead" . Can someone with developer background edit the script to convert google app UI into html service?
Is it a lot of work (manhours)? can computer engineering students do this? What will the work entail? I can try look for volunteers if someone can guide them.
I am using “API Connector” Google Sheets add-on to pull data from Kobo to google sheets… After a lot of search this stumbled upon a not so costly alternative (by Indian standards)
You need to know the JSON file link for your project.
Hi @mohan_n. can you please give me steps for this? I am struggling to connect my Kobo survey responses to Google sheets. I have installed the add-on, but I don’t know what to do next as I am new to this. Thanks!
