Google Apps Script: How to create a basic interactive interface with Web Apps

Google Apps Script: Web Apps

Did you know that you can easily create an interactive webpage web app that you can embed in your own website or your Google Workspace domain for internal use with your organisation with Google Apps Script?

Perhaps you want to create a small online app using resources you have in your Google workspace, like Google Sheets or BigQuery.

Maybe the functionality of Google Forms is not enough and you want to build a custom form for something like a seat booking form with a way for users to register a bunch of participants and immediately see if there are seats available. Or create a form where each answer creates a new set of questions that you want to add to a Google Sheet in our own way.

What if you wanted to road test a new app idea and want to use the development speed of Google Apps Script to get a proof of concept up and running in a flash?
