Google Sites makes it easy for organizations to create and manage their intranets or external web pages. By making content management available to non-technical users, information is managed by more people making it more relevant and up to date.
But sometimes intranets have more complex needs such as:
- Content varied based on an employee’s location
- Information in another system that needs to be presented in a site
- A project tracker with a custom workflow
- An issue tracker
- A team issue tracker
To support these needs, we are excited to announce further integration between Google Sites and Google Apps Scripts that allows custom applications to be built in your Google Sites. To get started, take a look at our
“hello world” tutorial and our
Apps Scripts help center. To get a sense for what is possible, we also recommend
our tutorial on how to build an entire time-tracking application, right in your site.

Is this a way that multiple documents can be loaded into a google sites file location?
Lovely! Look forward to using it. Now all Google Sites needs to become a full fledged CMS is the ability to appoint user roles such as co-authors and commenters.
Keep up the good work!
Apps Script, and the API in particular, looks great -- but to do anything very serious in the UI requires either a very visual mind with great memory, or requires a visual designer. You can't supply the first <s>, and I can't see that you are supplying the second: are there plans to provide a visual design tool for Apps Script UI?
I agree with Sophia!
I created a website via Google. But, how can I insert in the website a form that will collect customer data and then send the data to my email or to a file in my PC ?
The time tracking application is a great example. I cant get the Session.getActiveUser().getUserLoginId(); to work - in plain gmail account and a google apps account. Any idea?
I created a web site for my educational Institution. Can I use Google Spreadsheets as a database for query or get information of any student? If posible, how to built such type of forms in google sites
@Alex - You can create a form using Google Docs and then insert it into your website. the information collected in the form will appear in the spreadsheet in your google Docs. Enable the Email Notification in the Spreadsheet to receive an email every time a customer fills in the contact form.
Hope this helps. If you need any more clarifications mail me on arvind@alpinesoftinc.com
My website does not allow me to save the script. I get an error "You do not have authorization to perform that action."
As soon as I launch the apps script Editor I get this error on top.
