What is Google Apps ScriptDid you know that Google applications can be programmed with Google Apps Script?

Google Apps Script

Google's Programming Language

You have probably heard the terms "macros" in "Excel" and it might sound familiar with "Visual Basic" . "Macros" are nothing more than Visual Basic code (the programming language for Microsoft Office applications) that runs within a Microsoft application environment. The most commonly used in this context is Excel. The usual way to run a macro (Visual Basic code) in Excel is through a button, a spreadsheet event, or a custom menu item.

Well, in Google Workspace there are also macros, and instead of being programmed in Visual Basic, they are programmed in Google Apps Script . Google Apps Script is based on JavaScript (the programming language of the web) and has an online development environment (which you can see in the image). Google Apps Script macros can be executed in all Google Workspace applications, through buttons, automatically with events, or with additional menu items.
