The built-in versioning is very basic and doesn’t support Git or external version control systems. This makes collaborative development harder and limits tracking of complex changes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ease of coding, as it is based on JavaScript, a language that can be used in addition to applications in Google Apps Script. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's not my case, but it may not be very easy for those who don't like dealing with coding. For this type of audience, it could be interesting to have the possibility of developing automations through the creation of flows. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ease of use and integration with all the Google tools I use have been essential. For me, who doesn't have much programming skill, Copilot has been a great help in automating a large part of my work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I still don't find as many development materials as I do for other technologies. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best thing about the Google App script is it's easy integration with Google sheet. Just create your script and Upload data on Google sheet easily. It's very helpful while fetching the data from Linkedin. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing as such beacause till now it has solved my many problems. If possible I would like to code in python in Google App script Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that it is server side javascript (like Node) that runs purely on Google's Servers and is free to use with a Google Account. There are many built-in features that make it extremely powerful such as the ability to use Google Spreadsheets as your database or connect to any outside databases or APIs using the URLFetch commands. You can not only use this to feed data into a spreadsheet but can also build full featured web applications on top of it. It is an awesome development platform and you get a seemingly infinite amount of resources to use. Overall I've had a great experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only thing I dislike is that sometimes the Google Developers are not super responsive when it comes to fixing bugs or certain problems and are more likely to just ask you to use/find a workaround. However, this is a Free service, so I dont expect the same enterprise level of support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love making Google Apps Scripts and integrate them with Spreadsheets, mainly. The possibilities are endless. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Everything is good, maybe it would be nice to have all your scripts controlled in a single page, to orchestrate them all. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like the way the platform performs CRUD implementation like when we were creating CRUD algorithm to an external application which process credit bucket and cash flows. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I believe everything is perfect since it also has a feature that could process MySQL database data. The only problem is when the process exceeds the limit of usage will stop the execution for trigger-based programs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Apps Script is basically the equivalent of VBA for Excel. It allows you to connect your Google Sheets with Gmail, Google Docs, Google Drive, Google Calendar, and numerous other services. A TON of scripts can be found online, and even with only a rudimentary knowledge of coding, I have been able to Frankenstein scripts together to accomplish numerous things.

The usage limits are very generous, and it will not end up costing you extra $$ to create very sophisticated automated workflows. If there is specific data you need to get into a Google Sheet from an outside source, I've found most out-of-the-box tools like Zapier to be very limited, whereas Apps Script had the power and customizability to do exactly what I needed.

Apps Script uses some version of JavaScript, and there is definitely a learning curve to get started with it. Getting reliable scripts does take some skill. The time investments have paid off for me, but there's definitely a lot of trial & error, YouTube videos, and StackOverflow searches required to get from Point A to Point B if you're a novice coder.

There are plenty of tasks that can be automated making my day more efficient, reducing time, reducing reminders, or dealing with data format and cleanup that can be managed by code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Requires coding logic in order to achieve smoothness and accuracy, along with some good understanding of the Host app/app in the google workplace in order to define a handy solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
