One of the main differences with Workspace Add-ons is the use of the [Card service**](https://developers.google.com/apps-script/reference/card-service/card-service) rather than custom HTML (HTMLService). The benefit of switching to a Card service is cross platform support including integration into Google’s Workspace mobile apps.
