Google Workspace offers a host of productivity and collaboration tools that a lot of us love using for personal and business purposes. In a business setting, we can integrate these tools simultaneously within a process, depending on our needs. 

However, most of the time we need to orchestrate our processes to make these systems talk to each other as well as to our employees. For example, we may want to generate a NDA document when an employee requests it by submitting a Google Forms, and then store the generated document in Google Drive, and then use Gmail to send it to a third party to sign. We may also want to get our legal team’s approval in between.

This process or others can definitely be done manually. However, long gone the days when these are done manually. Businesses. In the current market environment,  to make things more efficient around business operations, to save cost, and also to stay competitive, businesses need to automate their processes as much as possible.

There are various approaches to automating business processes. Apps Script is what Google offers out of the box in Google Workspace suite. Apps Script is easy and powerful, however it’s still a coding language. That means you need to know how to code or hire very expensive resources to do it for you. Also, when it comes to changing your processes, which happens a lot, you again need to hire the same people to do it for you. Not to mention the time it takes to implement them.

Apps Script is not bad at all, but if it’s the only tool in your toolbox for workflow automation tootbox, you will end up distracting your precious resources from strategic and more complex projects, which are best suited for coding solutions, to automate the simple, routine processes. That could result in a lot of inefficiency in your business.
