Google Apps Script is a JavaScript-based development platform for extending G Suite applications like Google Sheets, Docs, and Forms. The scripting language integrates with cloud services and can automate repetitive tasks or build simple applications that interact with Google Workspace components. It allows users to create custom functions, define triggers to execute code at scheduled times or in response to certain events, and access external APIs. Apps Script lets developers write server-side code directly within their Google documents and can be shared as web apps or add-ons.
