Ep. 42: Google Apps Script: Build Your Own Automations for Free
Loading
/

In this episode, I break down one of my favorite tools, Google Apps Script, Google's free, low-code automation platform that has been built into Google Workspace since 2009. I cover what it is, a simplified version of how it works, and a non-exhaustive list of things you can actually build with it, including how to use AI to write all the code for you. The episode was inspired by a genuinely cool real-world use case from my friend and client, Dr. Ali Marty, who uses Google Apps Script as part of her coaching workflow. The best part? It’s all FREE! Tune into the full episode for all the deets.
