If your organization is using G-Suite (now known as Google Workspaces) then you’re hopefully using Google Apps Script to automate your email communication. (If you aren’t, why not? It’s a brilliant way to manage your communications.) You probably have different types of emails — for different purposes.
Do all of your emails have the same look-and-feel? Do they all match your organization’s branding requirements? How easy is it to update the format for all of them if you need to change a core/base element? Maybe the company tagline and color theme changed — how quickly can you get all of your emails updated?
I am going to show you how to create templated emails so that all of the emails you send have the same look-and-feel and are easy to maintain/update.
Tired of manually copying rows from one Google sheet to another? Automate it! I’ll show you how in my latest video tutorial.
For people just getting started in Apps Script nice little video tutorial showing how you can move rows in Google Sheets (this tutorial is the latest in a growing list of videos produced by Chanel Greco Founder & CEO of saperis).
Complete the steps on this page to create a Google Sheets add-on that tracks attendance for Google Classroom courses delivered using Google Meet conferencing.
Nice spot via @barrielroberts/@alicekeeler for an official Google Apps Script quickstart which combines Google Sheets, Google Classroom and Admin Reports which lets you create an automated Google Meets attendance roster tool. The quickstart has all the code and instructions you need to get this working.
If your school is considering conducting an online ‘Virtual Parents’ Evening’ due to covid restrictions, this project might save your staff time. The Google Sheet (make a copy at https://bit.ly/vpeassistant ) uses Google Apps Scripts to automatically create a Calendar event (in your default Calendar), create a Meet link as part of the event, paste the Meet link back into the Sheet and create a draft email to the parent containing the Meet link and time/date.
A simple and effective solution from Luke Craig to help you manage virtual parents evenings … and more. In particular useful to see how you can add Google Meet video calls to you calendar invites. The video description also includes a link to the source code on Github.
Monitor your Google Drive automatically and get email alerts when important files and folders are deleted from your Google Drive. You can also watch file activity in Shared Drives
Search through rows of a Google Sheet simultaneously looking for certain criteria all in one single loop. I needed a way of doing this without multiple loops despite searching for separate information and here is a way of achieving that via true/false flags.
I use Google Apps Script to support staff and students in my job. I enjoy dabbling with creating tools to help with automation and I freely share my learning experiences on my blog, where I also have a number of useful Google Add-ons: www.pbainbridge.co.uk
