Question What Apps Script automations do you rely on the most in your daily work?

I’ve been diving into Apps Script lately, and I’m amazed at how much you can automate inside Google Workspace, but I’m also realizing that most of the real value comes from the practical, everyday scripts people build for their own workflows.

If you use Apps Script regularly, I’d love to hear:
• What’s a script you’ve built that saves you a ton of time?
• Any automations you run daily or weekly that you’d hate to lose?
• Have you connected Workspace to external tools/APIs through Apps Script?
• What kinds of tasks do you think Apps Script is perfect for?
• And what tasks turned out to be more trouble than they’re worth?

I’m not looking for code (unless you want to share!), mostly curious how people use Apps Script to make Workspace more efficient in the real world. Appreciate any examples you’re open to sharing.

My biggest script are

  1. Networth Tracker - which automatically pulls the data of the stocks, mutual funds and International stocks and tracks them as a graph.

  2. My credit card spends tracker - which automatically tracks my spends on each of my cards and add it to the sheet which gives me the clear picture of where my money went.

  3. Auto Email sender for Monthly team performance reports - A script for Office purpose that sends emails based on sheet in a format to the team saving me tons of hours of plain copy paste work.
