Automatically disable a google form at certain point in time using apps script

I have a google form which is open for responses through the week, please help me using apps script how can I disable the form that it is not accessible on every Friday 6 PM upto Monday 9 AM

and again be accessible back from Monday 9 AM through the whole week until Friday 6 PM.

and this should repeat every week.

I believe your goal is as follows.

• You want to open your Google Form at 09:00 on Monday.
• You want to close your Google Form at 18:00 on Friday.
• Your Google Form is opening Monday to Friday.
• You want to run this day except for Saturday and Sunday.

In your situation, I remembered that this thread might be useful. Ref (Author: me) But, in that case, the script is run every day. I thought that modifying this script for your expected situation might be a bit complicated. So, I would like to introduce the modified script as an answer. When that script is modified for your situation, how about the following sample script?

Sample script:

Please copy and paste the following script to the script editor of your Google Form, and save the script.

When you run init() with the script editor, a time-driven trigger is installed. This trigger automatically runs the function installTimeDrivenTrigger() every day. But, in this case, the script is run on the days except for Saturday and Sunday by if (["Saturday", "Sunday"].includes(Utilities.formatDate(new Date(), Session.getScriptTimeZone(), "EEEE"))) return;. And, when this function is run, start() and end() functions are installed as the time-driven trigger.

start() enable Google Form at 09:00. And, end() disable Google Form at 18:00. And, after the next day, the function installTimeDrivenTrigger() is automatically run.

const deleteTriggers_ = e => ScriptApp.getScriptTriggers().forEach(t => {
  if (e.includes(t.getHandlerFunction())) ScriptApp.deleteTrigger(t);
});
const start = _ => FormApp.getActiveForm().setAcceptingResponses(true);
const end = _ => FormApp.getActiveForm().setAcceptingResponses(false).setCustomClosedFormMessage("Closed.");

function installTimeDrivenTrigger() {
  const d = Utilities.formatDate(new Date(), Session.getScriptTimeZone(), "EEEE");
  if (["Saturday", "Sunday"].includes(d)) return;
  deleteTriggers_(["start", "end"]);
  if (d == "Monday") {
    const time1 = new Date();
    time1.setHours(9, 0, 0);
    ScriptApp.newTrigger("start").timeBased().at(time1).create();
  } else if (d == "Friday") {
    const time2 = new Date();
    time2.setHours(18, 0, 0);
    ScriptApp.newTrigger("end").timeBased().at(time2).create();
  }
}

// Please run this script. By this, installTimeDrivenTrigger() is run 00:00 - 01:00 every day.
function init() {
  deleteTriggers_(["installTimeDrivenTrigger"]);
  ScriptApp.newTrigger("installTimeDrivenTrigger").timeBased().everyDays(1).atHour(0).create();
  // end(); // If you want to close as the default situation, please use this.
}

• In this sample, when the user accesses the Google Form from 18:00 on Friday to 09:00 on Monday, "Closed." is shown. If you want to change this message, please modify the above script.

Note:

• In this modification, when the function name is changed, the script might not be able to be used when the function names in the script are not changed. Please be careful about this.

• I think that this script can be worked for your goal. But, in this script, installTimeDrivenTrigger() is run 00:00 - 01:00 every day by ScriptApp.newTrigger("installTimeDrivenTrigger").timeBased().everyDays(1).atHour(0).create();. If you want to run only Monday and Friday, please modify it as follows. By this, installTimeDrivenTrigger() is run on Monday and Friday.

  • From

    ScriptApp.newTrigger("installTimeDrivenTrigger").timeBased().everyDays(1).atHour(0).create();
    

  • To

    ScriptApp.newTrigger("installTimeDrivenTrigger").timeBased().everyWeeks(1).onWeekDay(ScriptApp.WeekDay.MONDAY).atHour(0).create();
    ScriptApp.newTrigger("installTimeDrivenTrigger").timeBased().everyWeeks(1).onWeekDay(ScriptApp.WeekDay.FRIDAY).atHour(0).create();
