Hello,
I followed all the instructions given in your README feel, but when I tried to run the doPost() method to authorize the script I get the following error:
TypeError: Cannot read property "postData" from undefined. (line 10, file "Code")

If you have any idea on how to fix this it would be greatly appreciated, thank you!

undefined

any help appreciated

Get me access?

GitHub on my Mac says I don't have permission to Commit/Sync... Can you help? Thanks!

Upload image to image service

I'm trying to use your script to post images, but I don't know how to upload an image to the GroupMe image service and then obtain the URL. I've found a couple of examples in other languages, but any idea how to do upload the image and then get the URL for it in Google Script?

Thanks!
