Google Apps Script can be used to create simple tools for an organization's internal consumption, and in particular to perform simple system administration tasks. It features a community-based support model.
Google Apps Script was first publicly announced in May 2009 when a beta testing program was announced by Jonathan Rochelle, then Product Manager for Google Docs. In August 2009, Google Apps Script was subsequently made available to all Google Apps Premier and Education Edition customers.
