Google Workspace automation with Apps Script
Custom Google Apps Script tools that connect Sheets, Gmail, Drive, Forms and Calendar, so routine office and finance tasks run on their own, without new software licences.
Scope
What the work covers
Many small businesses and professional offices already run on Google Sheets and Gmail. Apps Script is Google's built-in scripting platform for Workspace, and it can automate most of the repetitive work done in those tools: building reports, filing attachments, sending reminders and routing approvals.
Because the scripts run inside your own Google account, data stays where it already is, and there is no separate system to buy or learn. Each tool is documented so the business can maintain it after handover.
- Automated MIS and reports in Google Sheets, refreshed on a schedule
- Filing of invoices and documents from Gmail into organised Drive folders
- Compliance and due-date calendars with scheduled reminder emails
- Google Forms based approval workflows, such as purchase requests and expense claims
- Custom menus, sidebars and dashboards inside Sheets
- Mail merge of statements, reminders and letters from Sheets data
- Clean-up and documentation of existing scripts
Approach
How the work is done
Map the routine
The current manual steps are written down, with the files, mailboxes and people involved.
Build in your account
The script is built and tested in your Google Workspace, with permissions limited to what it needs.
Schedule and monitor
Time-based triggers run the tool automatically, and failures send an alert email rather than failing silently.
Document and hand over
A short guide explains what the script does, where it lives and how to change common settings.
Getting started
Records to keep ready
- Access to a test copy of the relevant Sheets, Drive folders or mailbox
- Examples of the report, email or document the tool should produce
- The list of people who should receive outputs or approve requests
Background
The practice uses Apps Script for its own compliance calendars and client reporting, and builds tools for finance work in particular: reconciliations, MIS and reminders where accuracy matters. See experience and expertise.
Fees
Fees depend on the scope of work, the volume and condition of records and the time required, and are confirmed in writing in an engagement letter before work begins.
Questions about Google Workspace automation (Apps Script)
What is Google Apps Script?
Google Apps Script is a JavaScript-based platform built into Google Workspace. It lets you automate and extend Google Sheets, Gmail, Drive, Docs, Forms and Calendar, and run tasks on a schedule, without installing separate software.
Do I need a paid Google Workspace account?
Many scripts run on a free Google account, but a paid Workspace account offers higher daily limits for emails and executions and better administrative control. The right choice depends on the volume of the task.
Can Apps Script send automatic due-date reminders?
Yes. A Google Sheet listing due dates and responsible people can drive a script that emails reminders a set number of days before each date and records that the reminder was sent.
Who maintains the script after it is built?
Each script is documented and handed over with the business as owner. Common settings such as recipients and dates are kept in a sheet rather than in code, and support can be provided for later changes.
