    /* Usage
    1. Run the setup function (you'll need to do this twice - 1st time to grant acces to Script Properties)
    2. Share > Publish as service ... set security level and enable service

    // Usage
    // 1. Enter sheet name where data is to be written below
    var SHEET_NAME = "Sheet1";

    // 2. Run > setup
    //
    // 3. Publish > Deploy as web app
    // - enter Project Version name and click 'Save New Version'
    // - set security level and enable service (most likely execute as 'me' and access 'anyone, even anonymously)
    //
    // 4. Copy the 'Current web app URL' and post this in your form/script action
    //
    // 5. Insert column names on your destination sheet matching the parameter names of the data you are passing in (exactly matching case)
