The idea: perform the same action on multiple sheets. The idea is not new, my approach was to use macro each time to see the correct code snippet. It was useful and saved me hours on my current project.
A clever solution from Max Makhrov with some boilerplate script that makes it easy to use a recorded macro across multiple sheets. To make this solution even better I’ve suggested an addition which activates the sheet which makes it easier to reference recorded macro functions. To see in action here is a copy of Max’s Google Sheet with updated code.
If you have had to electronically sign a document before you are likely to be one of the 200+ users who have used DocuSign. DocuSign provides a suite of services to support the entire contract lifecycle from eSignature to automation to analysis. Whilst DocuSign has its own full range of services and integrations DocuSign developers and partners build the customized and integrated experiences that account for roughly 60% of all of DocuSign’s transactions. In this episode of Totally Unscripted we are joined by Jeremy Glassenberg Product Leader, APIs at DocuSign. Jermey will provide an overview of DocuSign APIs and opportunities to integrate with Google Workspace. This episode will be broadcast live and you can join the conversation in the YouTube Live chat.
I struggled how to make an authenticated call from Apps Scripts to Cloud Run even though I had owner rights on the GCP project. This post describes how to do it without reinventing the wheel.
Some very useful setup tips for using Cloud Run with Google Apps Scripts including additional references if you are keen to explore more.
How to use JavaScript memoization to optimize and improve the performance of your Google Apps Script code. … Memoization is a simple optimization technique that can be used to improve the performance of your Google Apps Script code. The basic idea is that you cache the results of an expensive function call using closures. If the function is called again with the same arguments, the cached result is returned instead of calling and executing the function all over again.
Great tip from Amit Agarwal for improving the performance of data heavy functions. Follow the link to the source post to find out more and a code sample to get started that finds a particular value in a CSV file.
This repository is an example of how to setup an automatic CI/CD process for Google Apps Script using GitHub Actions.
This solution come via Dimitri S on Twitter and provides a way to setup a continuous development workflow for Google Apps Script using clasp and Github. The basic recipe appears to be is you develop your code locally using your preferred IDE. You then use clasp to push your code to GitHub, which triggers a GitHub Action to deploy your code to script.google.com.
We are back with another episode of Totally Unscripted this time joined by Anu Srivastava, Senior Developer Programs Engineer, Google Cloud. As part of this show we are looking at Document AI, one of the latest Google services that lets you do magical things with scanned document images:
Document AI uses machine learning on a scalable cloud-based platform to help your organization efficiently scan, analyze, and understand documents. Manually inputting invoices, receipts, and expenses can be time-consuming, but it doesn’t have to be. The Procurement Document AI is a tool that allows you to digitize unstructured content into structured data. This is just one of the many scenarios where Document AI can be used to develop smart workflows. In this episode of Totally Unscripted we are joined by Anu Srivastava, Senior Developer Programs Engineer, Google Cloud, who will show how Document AI can be used to automate a range of workflows. This episode will be broadcast live and you can join the conversation in the YouTube Live chat.

When the users try to write to Spreadsheet using a form, the developers have to consider to the concurrent submission from the form. For example, when the multiple users submit the data with the form simultaneously, all data are possibly not to be saved to the Spreadsheet. So it is considered that it is important to know the information about the concurrent writing to Google Spreadsheet using a form. In this report, such situation was investigated.
A very useful analysis to see how many form submissions can be handled in Google Sheets at the same time. The experiment looks at both submissions using Google Forms and as a Web App.
Google Apps Script projects can be published as web apps …. This is helpful if you’re building a tool with a simple UI (using HTMLService), but they can also be used as webhooks to do work within a user account.
Google provides the option of service accounts, so why use webhooks?
For my project, it was because I needed to send calendar invites to other people. Service accounts are generally the way to handle those kinds of jobs, but it needed to have full account delegation, which means it can act on behalf of any user in the domain. That wasn’t an option in this case, so a webhook became the next best option.
Brian Bennett highlights the benefits of using ContentService and Web Apps as a way to let you interface other services.
The Google Workspace developer community show, Totally Unscripted, is back this Wednesday! We’ll be broadcasting live at the usual time 1200 PDT / 1500 EDT / 2000 GMT+1 with Wednesday’s targeted as our new ‘day’.
For our return we’ll be bringing you an episode on ‘Wholly Sheets: Tips for building productivity solutions with Google Sheets’. Tune in live to ask questions or immediately watch the recording on demand.
Full show description below:
Spreadsheets are the swiss army knife of productivity tools where they are used (and sometimes misused) as databases, workflow engines, project management tools, custom calculators, and oh yeah… spreadsheets. In this episode of Totally Unscripted, we will chat with Jonathan Butler, Software Engineer at Viriya Consulting, and Spencer Farris, a Google Sheets & Apps Script Consultant, about how they are build spreadsheet solutions that range from small problem-solving automations to full blown critical applications.
Do you still spend time every day monitoring your sales report, identifying which customer subscription is going to expire soon, and manually draft an email to send out to your customer? Would it be better if this manual task can be automated every day for you? If that’s the case, this article can be a great help for you!
Following on from some recent Google Sheet payment solutions here’s a tutorial that highlights how you can use Sheets and Apps Script as a payment reminder tool. Combine with Stripe or Razorpay and you have a complete subscription management solution.
