Hi, I'm using the modified version of the above code.gs from here.
`// 2017 by Daniel Eichhorn, https://blog.squix.org
// Inspired by https://gist.github.com/bmcbride/7069aebd643944c9ee8b

var SCRIPT_PROP = PropertiesService.getScriptProperties(); // new property service

// If you don't want to expose either GET or POST methods you can comment out the appropriate function
function doGet(e){
return handleResponse(e);
}

function doPost(e){
return handleResponse(e);
}

function handleResponse(e) {
Logger.log("arrived in handleResponse");
if(typeof e !== 'undefined')
var jsonData = JSON.parse(e.postData.contents);

try {
// next set where we write the data - you could write to multiple/alternate destinations
var doc = SpreadsheetApp.openById(SCRIPT_PROP.getProperty("key"));
var sheet = doc.getSheetByName(SHEET_NAME);

var nextRow = sheet.getLastRow()+1; // get next row
var row = [];
var headerRow = [];

row.push(jsonData.rssi);
row.push(jsonData.seqno);
row.push(jsonData.data);
var humidityHex = jsonData.data.substring(0, 2);
row.push(parseInt(humidityHex, 16));
var tempHex = jsonData.data.substring(2, 4);
row.push(parseInt(tempHex, 16) - 100);
var latHex = jsonData.data.substring(4, 10);
var lonHex = jsonData.data.substring(10, 16);
var latEncoded = parseInt(latHex, 16);
var lonEncoded = parseInt(lonHex, 16);
row.push((latEncoded / 8388606) * 90);
row.push((lonEncoded / 8388606) * 180);

row.push(jsonData.freq);
row.push(jsonData.ack);
row.push(jsonData.fcnt);
row.push(jsonData.dr);
row.push(jsonData.bat);
row.push(jsonData.port);
row.push(jsonData.snr);
row.push(jsonData.EUI);
row.push(jsonData.cmd);
row.push(jsonData.ts);

// more efficient to set values as [][] array than individually
sheet.getRange(nextRow, 1, 1, row.length).setValues([row]);
// return json success results
return ContentService
      .createTextOutput(JSON.stringify({"result":"success", "row": nextRow}))
      .setMimeType(ContentService.MimeType.JSON);

} catch(e) {
// if error return this
return ContentService
.createTextOutput(JSON.stringify({"result":"error", "error": e}))
.setMimeType(ContentService.MimeType.JSON);
}
}`

I get "TypeError: Cannot read property "contents" from undefined. (line 25, file "Code")" when put the URL of the deployed web app. It suggests that the jsonData maybe empty.

Actually, I'm doing a LoRa communication project where I get the GPS data from the Loriot server and post to the Google sheet which is same as the link that I get the modified Code.gs from.

In my application log in the Loriot server shows:
Error POSTing message | "err":"POSTing message to "https://script.google.com/macros/s/AKfycbyUaIl4t8PZxoXswCW2kc0I-ZfUl5DVucsD0CwtW3Rn4YAP2qpo/exec\" failed with 302 status code","appid":3195667320,"url":"https://script.google.com/macros/s/AKfycbyUaIl4t8PZxoXswCW2kc0I-ZfUl5DVucsD0CwtW3Rn4YAP2qpo/exec","seqno":641,"deveui":"47A9B2690026003A","data":{"statusCode":302},"message":"POSTing message to "https://script.google.com/macros/s/AKfycbyUaIl4t8PZxoXswCW2kc0I-ZfUl5DVucsD0CwtW3Rn4YAP2qpo/exec\" failed with 302 status code","targetUrl":"https://script.google.com/macros/s/AKfycbyUaIl4t8PZxoXswCW2kc0I-ZfUl5DVucsD0CwtW3Rn4YAP2qpo/exec","statusCode":302,"reqBody":null,"errName":"Error","instance":"nwk-1"

I hope to get some comment from Sir, as I stuck for many months on the issue of failed with 302 status and TypeError: Cannot read property "contents" from undefined. (line 25, file "Code"). Thanks a lot
