What can you do with Apps Script?
Google Apps Script is a cloud-based scripting language (based on JavaScript) that lets you extend and automate Google Workspace apps. It runs entirely on Google's servers, so you don't need your own hosting. It is the perfect way to connect "islands of information" within Google.
Document Automation
Automatically fill Google Docs contracts based on data from a Google Sheet or Form, and save them as PDF in the correct Drive folder.
Smart Mail Flows
Automatically send reminders based on dates in a Sheet, or save attachments from specific senders directly to Drive.
Data Cleaning & Validation
Check input in Sheets, remove duplicates, format phone numbers, or fetch data from external APIs (like Chamber of Commerce).
Time-based Triggers
Run scripts every night to update reports, clean up archives, or back up important files.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, it runs within Google Cloud security. You as the owner explicitly grant permissions (scopes) for what the script can do.
No, that's the beauty of it! Google hosts and runs the scripts for free (within generous quota limits).
Apps Script has execution time limits (usually 6 minutes per run). For very heavy datasets, we recommend BigQuery or an external solution.
For custom work, the script becomes the property of your organization. We ensure it runs on your account, not ours.
