# Meraki Dashboard with Google Scripts & Forms

## Overview

This learning lab demonstrates the power of Meraki APIs with Google Scripts and Forms.

By building a simple Google Form and attaching a script written in JavaScript, a Meraki Dashboard administrator can easily be created. This is incredibly helpful when running workshops that require several administrators to have access to a lab network.

# Instructions

## Create a Google Form

https://forms.google.com

### The first two questions should be as follows:

- Email

- Name

[SAMPLE]



## Link the form to a Google Script



## Paste the contents of this repository's `code.gs` file into the Google Scripts IDE.

- [code.gs](code.gs)

- update the **API_KEY**, **ORG_ID** and **SHARD** to match your settings.

- save your changes



## Add a Trigger to launch the script when the Form is submitted.



### Configure the trigger

- Run: **onFormSubmit**

- Events: **From form**

- --> On form submit



## Test the API calls

Several additional functions are included in this code to allow you to test with sample data and collect information.  

- Run --> *Select a **test** function*



Feel free to modify the sample JSON data defined in the `testAddMerakiAdmin` function.

```

function testAddMerakiAdmin(){

  var data = {

    "name":"Google Scripts Demo",

    "email":"[email protected]", // change this to an email you have access to!

    "orgAccess":"full"

  };

  addMerakiAdmin(API_KEY,ORG_ID,SHARD,data);

}

```

## View the results

- View --> Logs





## Google Form

Now that the API calls are working, test the Google Form by hitting the preview button.



Complete the form with a valid email address.



If everything worked, you should get an email from Meraki asking to complete the admin account verification.



## Verify Meraki account is created

- Meraki Dashboard --> Organization --> Administrators



## SUCCESS!

You have now used the Meraki APIs to dynamically create Meraki administrator accounts. With Google Apps, you do not even need to host a server to run the application. Cool!
