从 Chrome 扩展程序运行 Google Apps 脚本

Question

I'm new to Google Chrome Extension development and I want to run an apps script from the extension when I click the button from extension. But I'm not sure how to do it and I've checked the guide but couldn't catch the idea. Here are my codes,

script.js

$(document).ready(function () {
    $('#btnGet').click(function () {
        $(document).load('https://script.google.com/macros/s/AKfycbwpkBW7qKZBeJ011C7j3le4vV8D0SEHu9709mWtEMzJgrJmHnaR/exec');
    });
});

Apps Script

function doGet(e){
  function newEntry() {
    var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
    var sheet = ss.getActiveSheet();
    var lr = sheet.getLastRow();
    sheet.getRange(lr+1, 1, 1, 3).setValues([["First Name", "Last Name", "Email"]]);
    Browser.msgBox("New Entry Added!");
  }
}

I've managed to run codes from my script.js but I'm not sure how can I run codes from my apps script. How can I run the codes from my apps script?

Short answer

Instead of

var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var sheet = ss.getActiveSheet();

try

var id = 'spreadsheet-id'; //replace with your spreadsheet id
var sheetName = 'sheet name'; //replace with your sheet name.
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.openByID(id);
var sheet = ss.getSheetbyName(sheetName);

Explanation

The methods that return spreadsheet active objects can be used when the script is being called from the spreadsheet. doGet(e) could interact with a spreadsheet but you should specify which is the one that you want to work on.
