Fake calling to leave one meeting for the next — Google Apps Script to the rescue

All through the day, I want call reminders for specific events 10 mins before the meeting time, so I can leave my current meeting with out a hitch and go for the next one. So I used 3 tools for this: Google Calendar to fetch meeting times, Google Calendar to fetch meetings. Twilio to make calls. And finally Google Apps Script to put it altogether.

An interesting implementation by Urwa Shabir on managing meeting schedule using Twilio, Google Calendar and Apps Script.

Marketing Data Extraction using SOAP API — Apps Script Automation

Recently I had setup a daily extraction automation from a marketing platform and they had SOAP API. I had worked with xml before, so after some trial and error I was able to fetch marketing data from trafficvance.com platform right inside Google Sheets

Nice post from Urwa Shabir highlighting how to interact with 3rd party APIs using SOAP which relies heavily on XML. The post covers formatting a SOAP request now that SOAPService is deprecated in Apps Script, as well as parsing the XML response.
