Google Apps Script for G Suite Reviews & Product Details

App Script allows me to implement business logic in a very fast and efficient way. The ecosystem is excellent and I bypass the OAuth flow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't dislike anything. However, it would be great if there was an official support channel for App Script. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Since GAScript is just Javascript, it's incredibly easy to learn enough of it to do useful things. There's plenty of resources out there to get started and many of them make it so easy even those with only basic programming experience can pick it up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There doesn't seem to be a way to debug scripts that strictly react to changes in a Sheet. Using the "debug" function just runs the script which then complains it has to event to react to. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- nice docs

- easy to start writing script without previous experience

- ability to create/edit different google products (sheets/docs/etc) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- hard to deal with JSON files

- dealing with google sheets is not that easy at the beginning (but when you learn how to deal with it - it's fine) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I found getting into the Apps Script engine extremely easy from the Google Sheets and Google Forms menus. Once I was in the tool it was pretty simple to get to the feature I needed and run and test the code. Sharing the project with other developers before I published as also easy using Google Drive.

It is hard to remember that keyboard shortcuts do not save the changes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

So I pretty much use Google and the apps every single day, and the the app script for g suite allows all my different apps like, email, maps calendar and text to run smoothly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are few glitches that still need to be worked out within some of the apps I do use. Like when using maps, it may take a while to load up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

With Google apps script we create simple code to help us be more collaborative at work, create directory lookups, and automate countless mundane everyday tasks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The simple to use documentation to make a few simple app scripts to manipulate data from our Integrated library system software. It has allowed us to better analyze data. We also used app script to make an in house employee performance review product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes it is hard to follow the screens. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

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.

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.

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.
