For Business Owners: Business Operations Automation with AppSheet

GDG Pittsburgh

This session shows business owners how to use Google AppSheet to digitize and automate their internal operations without hiring a developer or learning to code. If you can build a spreadsheet, you can build an app in AppSheet. And if you can build an app, you can automate the processes that are quietly draining your time and energy every single week.

About this event

Every business has them. The repetitive tasks that eat your week alive. Chasing staff to fill in timesheets. Manually updating a spreadsheet every time a job is completed. Following up on purchase approvals that got lost in someone's inbox. Checking in on stock levels that live in a notebook somewhere.

These tasks are not complicated. They are just relentless. And they are exactly what AppSheet was built to eliminate.

This session shows business owners how to use Google AppSheet to digitize and automate their internal operations without hiring a developer or learning to code. If you can build a spreadsheet, you can build an app in AppSheet. And if you can build an app, you can automate the processes that are quietly draining your time and energy every single week.

We will walk through the whole process live:

  • How to turn a Google Sheet into a fully functional mobile app that your team can use in the field, on the floor, or on the road

  • How to set up automated notifications and alerts so the right person gets notified the moment something needs their attention

  • How to build approval workflows for purchase requests, leave applications, job sign-offs or any process that currently involves someone chasing someone else

  • How to connect your AppSheet app to Gmail and Google Calendar so actions in the app trigger real communications automatically

  • How to think about your existing business processes as a series of triggers and actions, which is the mindset shift that makes automation click

Every example in this session comes from a real small business scenario. Job scheduling for a trades business. Stock tracking for a retailer. Client intake for a service provider. Staff compliance checklists for a hospitality business.

You already know what process you want to fix. This session gives you the tools to fix it yourself, this week, without waiting on a developer or blowing your budget on custom software.
