Frequently Asked Questions
What is Google Apps Script?
Apps Script is Google's JavaScript-based platform for automating Workspace apps. It runs in the cloud (no servers needed) and can interact with Sheets, Docs, Gmail, Calendar, and external APIs. We use it to build custom automation tailored to your business.
Can you connect Google Sheets to my CRM?
Yes! We integrate Sheets with Salesforce, HubSpot, Pipedrive, Zoho, and most CRMs via their APIs. We can sync contacts, deals, and activities bidirectionally or on a schedule.
How do you handle large datasets in Sheets?
For datasets over 100K rows, we recommend BigQuery. We build Scripts that query BigQuery and display results in Sheets, or we use Sheets as an input layer that writes to BigQuery for analysis.
Can you build custom Sheets add-ons?
Yes! Premium packages include custom add-ons with sidebar UIs, dialogs, and menus. These can be deployed privately to your organization or published to the Google Workspace Marketplace.
What's the difference from Zapier/Make?
Zapier/Make are great for simple integrations. Apps Script offers more control, lower per-execution costs, and direct Sheets manipulation. We often combine both—using Scripts for Sheets logic and Zapier for external triggers.
How do you handle errors and monitoring?
We build logging into all Scripts—writing errors to a log sheet or sending Slack/email alerts. For Premium packages, we set up Stackdriver monitoring with dashboards showing execution status and failures.
Can you migrate from Excel macros to Sheets?
Yes! We convert Excel VBA macros to Google Apps Script. The logic is rewritten for Sheets' environment, and we ensure feature parity with your existing Excel workflows.
How long does Google Sheets automation take?
Simple scripts take 2-3 days. Multi-system integrations run 1-2 weeks. Enterprise deployments with add-ons and training typically take 2-4 weeks.
Do I need a Google Workspace plan?
Apps Script works with free Gmail accounts for personal use. For business automation with custom add-ons, advanced triggers, and OAuth, we recommend Google Workspace Business ($12/user/month).
What ongoing support do you offer?
All packages include 30-90 days of support. After that, we offer monthly retainers starting at $200/month for maintenance, updates, and new script development.

Inventory finally under control
We had a messy Sheets-based inventory tracker that constantly drifted from Shopify. AHK.AI built an Apps Script sync that pulls orders and SKU counts on a schedule, flags negative stock, and writes exceptions to a log tab with timestamps. They also added a simple dashboard for sell-through and reorder points. The best part is the validation—no more accidental overwrites from our team. It’s been stable for weeks and saved us hours every day.
Project: Two-way Shopify order/SKU sync to Google Sheets with scheduled triggers, validation rules, and exception logging

Clean CRM-to-Sheets pipeline
Our RevOps team needed a reliable way to consolidate HubSpot deals into a forecasting sheet. They implemented a custom Apps Script connector with pagination, rate-limit handling, and a refresh button for ad-hoc updates. We now get normalized fields (stage, ARR, close date) and a weekly snapshot tab for trend analysis. The error handling is thoughtful—if an API call fails, it retries and writes a clear message instead of silently breaking formulas.
Project: HubSpot deals import into Google Sheets with normalization, snapshots, and resilient API error handling

Better intake data quality
We use Sheets to track clinic referrals and appointment statuses, but manual entry caused duplicate MRNs and missing fields. AHK.AI added Apps Script validations, dropdown controls, and a “submit” workflow that checks required data before writing to the master sheet. They also set up audit logging so we can see who changed what and when. We’re not using any PHI in the sheet, but the process still needed to be rigorous. Overall, much fewer errors.
Project: Referral tracking workflow with field validation, controlled edits, and audit/change logging

Offers and comps automated
I’m an agent juggling leads, showings, and comps across multiple spreadsheets. AHK.AI turned it into a system: new leads from a Google Form drop into Sheets, then Apps Script assigns follow-up tasks, sends templated emails, and updates a pipeline view automatically. They also created a comps report generator that formats a client-ready PDF from a template. The workflow is simple enough for my assistant to run, and the reporting looks professional.

Solid reporting, minor tweaks
We needed a monthly KPI pack built from multiple Sheets plus a bank export. AHK.AI created scripts to import CSVs, standardize categories, and populate a dashboard with charts and variance columns. The deliverable is good and the logging helps our analysts troubleshoot. We did have a couple of iterations around date handling (time zones and month-end cutoffs), but they addressed it quickly and documented the final logic. Net result: faster close and fewer manual reconciliations.

Client reporting without chaos
Our team was copy-pasting metrics from Google Ads and GA4 into a template every Monday. AHK.AI built an Apps Script solution that pulls data via APIs, updates each client tab, and generates a shareable summary sheet automatically. They included a “data freshness” indicator and an error report so we know when a token expires or an account is disconnected. It’s reduced our reporting time drastically and made our numbers consistent across accounts.
Project: Automated multi-client performance reporting in Sheets using Ads/Analytics APIs with freshness checks and error reporting

Shop floor tracking improved
We track work orders and scrap in Sheets because it’s accessible on the floor, but the file was getting slow and inconsistent. AHK.AI optimized the structure, added Apps Script to validate part numbers, and created buttons for operators to submit completion counts without breaking formulas. They also built an automated daily report emailed to supervisors with yield and downtime notes. Performance is noticeably better, and the logs help us pinpoint where data entry goes wrong.
Project: Work order and scrap tracking system with operator-friendly inputs, validations, performance optimization, and daily emailed reports

Proposal workflow simplified
We run proposals and project plans out of Sheets, but version control was a nightmare. AHK.AI created a template system where a new engagement automatically generates a structured workbook, assigns an ID, and locks key cells. They integrated it with Drive folders and added a client-ready status dashboard. The scripts are well-organized, and they actually explained how to maintain it. It feels like a lightweight internal app now, not a fragile spreadsheet.
Project: Engagement template generator with unique IDs, protected ranges, Drive folder automation, and status dashboard
★★★★ 4.5
Grades and rosters streamlined
I manage course rosters and grading sheets for multiple sections. AHK.AI set up Apps Script to import rosters from a CSV, validate student IDs, and generate per-section tabs automatically. They also created custom functions to calculate weighted grades and flag missing assignments. The automation cut down on clerical work and reduced mistakes when students add/drop. I’d love one more feature (automatic email to students), but what’s delivered is already a big improvement.
Project: Roster import automation, student ID validation, section tab generation, and weighted-grade custom functions

Shipment updates in one place
We coordinate shipments across carriers and warehouses, and status updates were scattered in emails. AHK.AI built a Sheets-based tracker that ingests tracking data via API, updates milestone timestamps (picked up, in transit, delivered), and triggers Slack alerts for exceptions like delays or address issues. They also added a clean operations dashboard with on-time percentage and aging shipments. The automation is reliable, and the built-in logging makes it easy to audit what happened on a given load.
