With Google Apps Script, you can build GSuite Add-ons and Web Apps that can easily integrate with Google services like Gmail, Google Drive, Sheets, Docs, Google Calendar, Forms, and more. In this tutorial, you'll learn how to build Google Apps Script projects locally using Visual Studio Code and the Google Apps Script Starter Kit. Apps Script code is written in JavaScript and runs on Google Cloud servers. The Apps Script development environment uses ESLint, Prettier, Babel, Webpack, and CLASP but there's no build configuration required.

    @SnowHunter444 years ago I appreciate theof your products, especially the document studio. The coding is far from my capabilities i have to admit. I would to find a way to write a script for google sheets to compare a row of
    current stock prices and a column of target prices and send an alert via gmail when a target is hit. Watched something like this but it seems not to work as the original developer had hoped, any thoughts?

    @andersong8553 years ago Hello, my name is anderson, i' m from brazil.
    i created a slide on google slides and published it.
    every time i open the presentation if there is a change, the script updates the slide.
    however it does not reflect in the presentation, i need to reload the page to load the change.
    is there any way to reload the page through the script?
    or close the page and open it again automatically by script

    @Marshallsbest5 years ago Amit, i hate youkidding, you just made quick work of just about everything i have been trying to use all the way down to the select field ( i spent days making that work) plus i have wanted to begin using vs code moire often but i was not sure how to use it in a manner that would not be more cumbersome than just the regular editor. As an amatuer part time coder my learning curve is fraught with blanks and while i knew this was the way to go i didn' t know where to find examples of a functional work flow. The only thing that i am still unsure about is how to use a proper database instead of a spreadsheet for storing data and then retrieving it to various select boxes thus making them dynamic as you did with the user properties. I would like to use a relational database and i would like to use a spreadsheet for the user ui for now can i ask what kind of process you might recommend to accomplish this using apps script? I was searching for a udemy course but almost everything i can find is either to far removed for me to draw examples from or are based on microsoft platforms. There' s a gap that could use a guy with your skill set here ) anyway, thank you for this video i' m already listening to it a second time and will be watching it a lot more. Any advice would be much appreciated and well received. ...Expand
