Welcome to Google Apps Scripts: an easy way to automate simple tasks across Google Products.

With scripts, you can:

• Create your own custom spreadsheet functions
• Automate repetitive tasks (e.g. process responses to Google Docs forms)
• Link multiple Google products together (e.g. send emails or schedule Calendar events from a list of addresses in a Spreadsheet)
• Customize existing Google products (e.g. add custom buttons or menus to run your own Scripts)?

Google Apps Scripts provides:

• Easy interaction with different Google products and capabilities using JavaScript APIs
• Fast development:
  • use standard JavaScript
  • use Google's online Script Editor or your favorite Desktop development tool
  • Basic collaboration and sharing support
• Execution and hosting of scripts on the Google cloud
• Basic support for event handling that can run even when users are offline
• Easy deployment and maintenance
• Standard methods of security using OAuth: users or domain administrators have to grant each Script access to the data it needs to run.
