Overview
Google Apps Script is a scripting language used in conjunction with Google web-based applications (Google Docs, Google Sheets, Google Forms, Gmail, etc.) and external APIs. In this course, you’ll see how Google Apps Script can integrate the functions of multiple Google services with an externally located data source to create a new custom app. For example, you’ll see how Google Apps Script pulled data from a Google Sheet and an external source, and then combined and formatted the data into a Google Doc.
The key to using Google Apps Script is understanding its underlying language – JavaScript. The course teaches you enough of the concepts and syntax of JavaScript that you’ll come away with the ability to confidently code Google Apps Script tasks on your own.
