Enum EventType

AI-generated Key Takeaways

EventType is an enumeration used to define the type of event that triggers a script to run.
The EventType enum includes properties such as CLOCK, ON_OPEN, ON_EDIT, ON_FORM_SUBMIT, ON_CHANGE, and ON_EVENT_UPDATED, each corresponding to a specific event trigger.
To call an enum property, use the syntax ScriptApp.EventType.PROPERTY_NAME, replacing PROPERTY_NAME with the desired event type (e.g., ScriptApp.EventType.CLOCK).
These event triggers allow scripts to automatically execute in response to various actions within Google Apps like Docs, Sheets, Forms, and Calendar.

An enumeration denoting the type of triggered event.

To call an enum, you call its parent class, name, and property. For example, ScriptApp.EventType.CLOCK.

Property	Type	Description
`CLOCK`	`Enum`	The trigger fires once the time-driven event reaches a specific time.
`ON_OPEN`	`Enum`	The trigger fires once the user opens the Google Docs, Sheets, or Forms file.
`ON_EDIT`	`Enum`	The trigger fires once the user edits the Google Sheets file (for example, by entering a new value into a cell, which counts as an edit instead of a change).
`ON_FORM_SUBMIT`	`Enum`	The trigger fires once the user responds to a Google Form. This trigger is available either in the Google Form itself or in the Google Sheets file that the form sends its responses to.
`ON_CHANGE`	`Enum`	The trigger fires once the user changes the Google Sheets file (for example, by adding a row, which counts as a change instead of an edit).
`ON_EVENT_UPDATED`	`Enum`	The trigger fires once an event gets created, updated, or deleted on the specified Google Calendar.
