Google Apps Script development for real business workflows

We write Apps Script that your team can maintain—connecting Google Workspace to the systems that actually run the business.

Apps Script is underrated until it is unmaintainable. We build Workspace automations with logging, retries, and boundaries so a quick script does not become a hidden production dependency.

Diagnose My Workflow

What breaks today

The pain we hear on almost every intake

Scripts that only run when someone remembers

Triggers fail silently, quotas get hit, and nobody knows until month-end reporting is wrong.

No documentation when the author leaves

The automation still runs—but nobody can safely change a column name without breaking production.

Integrations that stop at the Google boundary

Sheets updates but HubSpot, QuickBooks, or Slack never hears about it.

What we build

Focused deliverables—not a vague retainer

Production-grade Apps Script

Structured projects, environment-aware config, and error notifications to the right channel.

Workspace + external API bridges

OAuth flows, webhooks, and scheduled jobs that respect rate limits and idempotency.

Handoff documentation

Plain-language runbooks so your team knows what runs, when, and how to pause it safely.

How we work

One workflow, one milestone, expand from proof

01

Audit the existing script or workflow

We trace triggers, permissions, and failure modes before writing new code.

02

Rebuild the critical path

One integration or automation slice with tests and observable logs.

03

Decide when to graduate off Apps Script

If volume or permissions outgrow Workspace limits, we plan the move to a small backend without losing momentum.

Questions

Straight answers

When the workflow lives primarily in Google Workspace, volume is moderate, and the team wants fast iteration without standing up new infrastructure.

Heavy API volume, complex permissions, multi-tenant data, or integrations that need always-on background processing usually warrant a dedicated app or service.

Yes. We often start by stabilizing the existing automation, then refactor or replace pieces that are brittle.

We can support production automations after launch and expand scope milestone by milestone.

Scope-Lock Satisfaction Guarantee

Scope-Lock Satisfaction Guarantee: if the milestone does not match what we scoped, we keep working free until it does—or refund it if we miss after you hold up your end.

Workflow triage

Diagnose one workflow. Get a bounded recommendation.

Answer a few targeted questions about one bottleneck and we’ll tell you whether a small first milestone is justified—usually around $2k–$20k depending on scope.
