Google Apps Script is a great way to extend the functionality and potentially automate processes while working in Google Workspace.
Google Apps Script can be thought of as the Google equivalent to Microsoft’s Visual Basic.
Google Apps Script is very similar to Javascript, so with a basic working knowledge of Javascript it is possible to get a lot done with Google Apps Script
For a more practical place to start I highly recommend https://www.labnol.org/ which has a significant archive of Google Apps Scripts to perform various functions in Google Workspace, including:
- Importing csv files into Google sheets
- Sending email from Gmail to slack
- List Google Drive folders and files
