This article will discuss how to manage multiple, container-bound script projects using the Google Apps Script API from within Google Apps Script itself.
Interesting write up of how you can manage container bound Apps Script projects from an Apps Script…
Google Apps Script: WebApp In this tutorial, we will cover how you can get a unique temporary access key from a user accessing your WebApp that lasts for 30 days.

Recently I came across a nice post from Ravgeet Dhillon, which looked at how to Add Unsubscribe link in emails using Google Apps Script. The solution uses a Google Sheet and a Google Apps Script web app to add an unsubscribe link to emails. As I noted when shared via AppsScriptPulse this is a useful addition if your mailing needs comply with PECR or similar electronic communications regulation compliance.
Having recently updated my ‘Create a mail merge using Gmail and Google Sheets’ in the Google Workspace Solution Gallery to handle inline images I thought it would be useful to show how this example can be extended to include a variation on Ravgeet’s post.
With Google Drive, Apps Script, Bootstrap, and a little jQuery, you can develop an Image Library web application with search and download functionality!
Useful little tutorial if you are interested in learning how to interact with Google Drive files. The post is also a nice introduction into using the Bootstrap framework for building responsive web apps.
Provide your subscribers an option to opt-out of mailing lists by adding unsubscribe link using Google Apps Script.
A useful post on creating a system to allow users to indicate they wish to opt-out of further mailings (useful for PECR or similar electronic communications regulation compliance). The post has the broad steps and code needed for this solution and you will need to fill in some of the blanks like how to record the unsubscribe_hash in the Google Sheet.
The new Twitter API brings a much better way to get a list of publicly available Tweets in Google Sheets to retrieve Tweets and their details, including the username of the author.
Always nice to see when other web services feature Google Apps Script. This is a great example from Daniele Bernardi (‎@i_am_daniele‎), DevRel at Twitter, highlighting how Google Sheets custom functions can be used to interact with the Twitter API. The post has everything you need to know plus a link to a gist with all the code.

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
Get your Zoom meeting settings via the Zoom API and OAuth, using a Web App in Google Apps Script. Here we will access user settings in your Zoom account, specifically the meeting settings, and log the results in a Google Sheet. This provides both a way of confirming we have made a successful connection and will allow us to create subsequent Zoom meetings using these settings.
This will log the results in a Google Sheet to help you understand what is happening and the type of data that is returned.

Format (bold) a single word or a group of words automatically in sheets, using google apps script.
This example from Sourabh Choraria is a nice example of how you can apply text formatting to parts of Google Sheet cell values. Reading Sourabh post got me thinking if having an Add-on or built in feature that used basic markdown for cell formatting would be useful? e.g. typing `I just love **bold text**` would result in the cell being displayed as `I just love bold text`.
