Friends,
I am attempting to post data to a google sheet from a particle device. I currently have a ambient temp & humidity sensor and a water temp sensor and want to have that data post to a google doc every 2 hours. I only have three values right now but I am wanting to make it easy to add more values if at all possible.
This is my first try interfacing with webhooks so please be brutally honest with what i am doing wrong. I have found a number of helpful tutorials that have helped me build the webhook but when the Particle.publish(data,dataStr) publishes i get an error in the particle logs(screenshot below).
The tutortial i found the most helpful, and followed the most closley is this one https://www.hackster.io/gusgonnet/pushing-data-to-google-docs-02f9c4
It was very helpful but i was (still am) confused on the formatting of the data in my particle web ide code, and how that all interacts with the JSON and the google script code.
I don’t want to use any third party services, as i want to keep it as simple as possible. Here is a screen shot of the webhook and where i think I am wrong.
I currently have no code in the google sheet, i only have it deployed as a web app,
here is the particle code i am using.

if(!Spraying){ // turns the spray pin on

spayersOn();
}
}
if(Spraying){ // turns the sprayers off
if(timer0-mainOnTime>OnTime){
Spraying=false;
spayersOff();
}
}
}
void spayersOn(){
digitalWrite(SprayPin,HIGH);
mainOnTime=timer0;
}
void spayersOff(){
digitalWrite(SprayPin,LOW);
mainOffTime=timer0;
}
any insight or good resources on how to pass data from server to server is greatly appreciated.
