I want my application to be able to access url parameters, for example I’d like to be able to read “param” if someone navigates to my app using https://script.google.com/myapp?param=20.
You can use the google.script.url API from a client script (https://developers.google.com/apps-script/guides/html/reference/url).
For example:
google.script.url.getLocation(function(location) {
alert(location.parameter.param);
});
