Google Workspace Services are used by over 1.5 billion people, including more than 10 million paid users. Google offers various services that can be customized and extended using App Script, a cloud-based JavaScript platform that is the only low-code platform that makes it easy to develop business solutions that integrate, automate, and extend Google Workspace.

There is a huge market for productivity apps that can be developed for Google Workspace, with the projected revenue in the productivity software market exceeding USD 25 billion.

With the help of professional Google Addons developers, organizations and business users can build custom solutions on top of Google Workspace to meet their specific needs. The applications developed with App Script run on Google’s servers and can interact with Google Workspace applications like Gmail, Calendar, Drive, Google Meet, and more.

There are various types of productivity apps that can be developed for Google Workspace using App Script, including

Automation

We can use Google’s APIs to programmatically perform tasks across Google products, which can be triggered by custom menus, user actions, data validations, custom rules, or a time-based schedule. For example, we can send an email to event attendees when they accept the invitation, which can be automated with App Script.

Custom functions 

We can write custom functions using App Script and access those functions, which can be used in Google Sheets as other available functions. For example, we can save data to a custom web portal created in an Excel sheet by associating the respective function with a particular cell.

Add-ons

We can build an app that automates tasks or connects to third-party services from within Google Workspace and share our solution with others on the Google Workspace Marketplace. Add-ons provide the ability to connect with third-party services or automate tasks within Google Workspace. For example, the Zoom Workspace app, Slack, Trello, Smartsheet, and more are available as Add-ons.

Chat apps 

We can replace humans with automated responses that can interact with other users’ messages on Google Chat. This can help automate many tasks via simple commands from Google Chat. For example, we can get a complete form filled out by a user via Google Chat itself without leaving the Chat window. Users can send SMS, make calls, send emails, and perform other custom actions directly from Google Chat.

REST API 

We can interact with Google APIs and other external third-party services via REST API, which can be easily implemented in App Script. Apps Script apps support web apps, which can be developed for businesses and integrated with Google Workspace.

Publishing

The apps developed via App Script can be made available for internal use only or made publicly available via the Google Workspace Marketplace, and it’s free to publish apps on the marketplace.
