按下按钮是否可以从Google表格运行python脚本？

Question

I have a script that reads from a google sheet and uses the information to create tickets using the Jira python api. In my situation it won't work to have the script be triggered at a certain time, the script has to be triggered through the sheet. Is there some way to detect a button press or a cell change which runs my local python file?

Answer 1

I had a similar problem. there is a tool set call 'gspread', which can read from python data from your Google sheets. What I did is a script in the spread sheet, what filled a cell with "Start + time". You can trigger script with this with a button.

Now the python program read this cell every minute. If the cell contains the start trigger, if fires the python script.

Not the nicest solution, but it works for a few years now.
