Extract different links from various Google Sheet cells, paste them in a Google Doc Template as Active URLs /Hyperlinked using Google Apps Script

Question

I would like to achieve the following with Google Apps Script:

1. If a cell is a text, display the text in the placeholder (achieved with the below code)
2. If a cell is a URL, display it as an active URL or a hyperlinked URL - Currently, this code pulls the URL's as text strings too.

Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am still quite a beginner in this language. I know the referencing of the placeholders is probably not a very efficient way to pull this large number of cells but I also don't have enough knowledge to implement it more efficiently.

All the placeholders from "body.replaceText('{{StrengthOneFoundationalA}}', row[42]);" will either return the text links or blank

  const rows = sheet.getDataRange().getDisplayValues();

    if (index === 0) return;
    if(row[0]) return

Answer 1

Not sure if I understand you correctly. If you need to get links (http...) or texts from some range (from column for example) it can be done about this way:

const values =  range.getRichTextValues().flat()
  .map(x => x = x.getLinkUrl() || x.getText());

It tries to get URL and if there no URL it gets text, for every cell of the range.

If you have not just one column but a 2d array there should be additional steps of course. But the core algorighm is the same: get a rich text, try to get a url from it, if url == null, get a text.

It would be easier to figure out if you share example of your date.
