"Automation of mundane tasks"

5/5

What do you dislike about Google Apps Script for G Suite?

I wish there was a way for people that can't code, do use Apps Script. "App Maker" is a good start, but it needs to be super simple while keeping the same power of Google Apps Scripting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The Google Apps Script APIs were easy to use and very well documented. The debugger was pretty decent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Apps Script for G Suite?

The Google Apps Script version of Javascript is based on an older version of Rhino and it did not support all modern features of Javascript. Logging of exceptions and errors could have been a tad easier.

"Simplistic Google at its Best"

4/5

What do you like best about Google Apps Script for G Suite?

Through this application, we can create add-ons for Google Sheets, Docs, Slides, or Forms, which can be integral for the coders to apply accordingly. we can also automate the workflow, integrate with external APIs, and more to make sure all of our flow and system integration are at optimal place/ level. It also gives us an option to improve and personalize all the G Suite systems to make it most optimal for our use or the client's preference use. I also really like their Spreadsheet service that has been extended with the new Group class and the GroupControlTogglePosition enum. For this newly added option, groups are an association between an interval of contiguous rows or columns that can be expanded or collapsed as a unit. And this can optimize even more how we can utilize this product to optimally improve the functions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Apps Script for G Suite?

I feel that simplicity of the software is good, but this may also be their biggest issue. It is a very basic product that may need a lot of work to be done for yourself to personalize and make it better for your personal use or for the prospective client's use. But other than that, I think it's a fine product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Automation for beginners"

4/5

What do you like best about Google Apps Script for G Suite?

The ability to automate recurring functions and add them as menu options. I love that there is quite a bit of documentation provided by Google itself and even more available online at places like stack overflow. This is due to it being Java script as opposed to a custom brew of code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Apps Script for G Suite?

Writing code. HA! I am a novice at best, but this as needs must I have muddled my way into some very helpful scripts. So with that in mind, I am not sure how qualified I am to point out flaws... what I will say is that when tying the script to a button the naming is confusing.... as one would intuitively think that you enter the name you gave the script project title; however, if you happened to have multiple scripts or renamed one of the scripts in the project, you must enter precisely the name of that script which you are tying to the button. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Google Apps Script for G Suite:

Take advantage of the online community and the amazing scripts that are readily available for adaptation for your needs. If you are an actual programmer and you know Java, well you don't need my recommendations... but for my fellow non-programmers this is a great way to get your feet wet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Google Apps Script for G Suite solving and how is that benefiting you?

I have been able to automate several time consuming tasks and thus freed up the equivalent of 2 full time employees... not to mention the reduction of errors and technical support needed for these functions. I am currently overhauling a major information access system from within a our SAAS CRM into Google Fusion tables via the Google Apps Script. The information is initially entered using a Google Form that I have set up as a workflow. Aside from triggering emails to facilitate and track the process of the workflow the data is entered is stored in a Google Sheet. In the past I have used a merge document option to display data and simply pasted it into the CRM. However, frequent changes to that data required Admin access to the CRM and thus consumed a lot of my time. Google Fusion tables can display that data as cards (which can be customized using html) and I can simply insert the URL to the published card in the CRM. I can allow the owner of the information access to edit their own rows within the fusion table and eliminate my need in the ongoing information update process. What Google Apps script facilitates in this situation is the automatic sync from the Google Sheet entry into the Google Fusion table upon the Google Form Submission. So there is no up front change to the process for the users, only in the ongoing maintenance portion. This has been received well because I had required a workflow form submission to be sent for all information changes, after complete adoption this will be unnecessary and they will be allowed to edit the information in Fusion Tables, which immediately updates the Fusion Card Display.

"I can easily automate my work using Google apps script"

5/5

What do you like best about Google Apps Script for G Suite?

That i can easily automate the whole process of my work using the integration between google apps script and Gsuite with only Javascript which is widely used for web and everyone is probably familiar with it or even for those who don't know Javascript they can learn it easily in a couple of days and become good at it too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Apps Script for G Suite?

The documentation isn't enough, sometimes i get lost when i try to do something custom using google apps script with google sheets and there is not enough material on the Internet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Google Apps Script for G Suite:

For those who are using Gsuite and google products like docs, sheets or slides, you should definitely try google apps. It will automate the process that can take up to hours to make by yourself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Google Apps Script for G Suite solving and how is that benefiting you?

I used the combination of Gsuite and google apps script in getting orders from firebase database and storing it in google sheets and also it allowed me to make it sync automatically every hour.

"My exprience with Google apps script"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Google Apps Script for G Suite?

It helped increase the functionality of the already existing apps that I use like sheets, drive and slides. I like that it's all on a JavaScript platform and integrated with the cloud which allowed me to start working with it without needing much time to learn its programming language or codes since I'm already familiar java it's an easy language. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Apps Script for G Suite?

It needs you to be a developer, programmer, or to know at least a thing or two about JavaScript to be able to work with it. Because of the cloud nature of Apps Script, functions related to date and time will produce incorrect and inaccurate results due to difference in time zones. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Google Apps Script for G Suite:

Its capabilities are amazing and what you can do with it will satisfy all of your needs from google apps but instead of writing the script yourself you can use scripts developed by community developers who publish it for free and it does most of the common functions people need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Google Apps Script for G Suite solving and how is that benefiting you?

I used it to import data from the Crunchbase API into Google Sheets which allowed me to display the content of a Google Sheet into various types of views, from a simple table to people directories, Gantt chart views and Google Maps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
