Google Workspace Automation that runs itself

Workspace is powerful. Manual glue between apps is expensive.

Most teams already pay for Google Workspace — then burn hours bridging Gmail, Drive, Docs, Forms, and Calendar by hand. If any of this sounds familiar, you are paying for automation twice: once in salary, again in mistakes.

• Inbox triage tax: Labeling, forwarding, and chasing follow-ups every morning.
• Drive dumping ground: Client files scattered; nobody knows the "official" folder.
• Doc assembly line: Copying Sheet data into proposals and PDFs one client at a time.
• Form black hole: Responses sit unread until someone remembers to route them.
• Calendar friction: Copy-pasting times between Sheets, email, and Calendar invites.

If you do it more than twice a week across Workspace apps, it should be a script — not a habit.

What we automate across Google Workspace

Pick the app that is draining your week. Each build ships with triggers, error logging, and a handover so your team can run it without me.

1. 01 · GmailHours of triage → minutes of review

   Inbox routing & follow-ups

What you get out of it

Compared with Zapier or Make, Workspace-native Apps Script wins when the logic lives in Gmail/Drive/Docs, you need ownership, or task volume would make per-action pricing expensive. See the Zapier alternative guide or our Apps Script vs Zapier vs Make comparison.

Built in your Google account — not a rented workflow

I design and ship production Apps Script that runs under your Workspace domain: triggers you control, logs you can audit, and code you keep when the project ends. Typical engagements cover discovery, build, testing against quotas and edge cases, and a documented handover.

• Cross-app workflows: Gmail ↔ Sheets ↔ Drive ↔ Docs ↔ Calendar in one system, not five Zaps.
• Quota-safe design: Batching and cursors so you do not hit UrlFetch, Gmail, or trigger runtime limits mid-day.
• Security-first: Scripts stay in your account; no middleman reads your inbox or Drive.
• Maintainable handoff: Comments, runbook, and walkthrough so ops can own day-two changes.

From audit to live automation in four steps

No mystery process. You always know what is next and what it costs.

1. Free automation audit (30 min): We map the manual path across Workspace apps and pick the highest-ROI first win.
2. Scope & quote (within 24 hours): Fixed-price or hourly at $50/hr — written deliverables, no surprise fees.
3. Build & test in your environment: Sandbox first, then installable triggers, logging, and edge-case checks.
4. Deploy & handoff: Live triggers, documentation, and optional ongoing support at the same rate.
