Google Sheets + Apps Script workflow automation for repetitive data and message processes.
This implemented automation pattern uses Apps Script to receive requests, update structured data in Google Sheets, call Gemini or external APIs, record status and timestamps, and send Telegram notifications.
The goal is simple: replace repetitive manual steps with a bounded, maintainable workflow that is easier to track and hand off.
Example capabilities include structured sheet updates, API processing, status/error recording, and automated notifications.

What I Built: Briefly
I built Briefly, a web app on Bubble.io that helps freelancers handle client pitches without the headache.
Smart Drafting: It takes a messy, casual client message and turns it into a clean, structured proposal with milestones and budgets.
Easy Sharing: Instead...
Automating a task and understanding it are not the same skill, and skipping straight to the first one usually backfires.
I've watched people automate a report before ever manually building it once and the automation just encodes whatever mistake was already baked into the process. The manual version is where you find the edge cases. The automated version is where you scale them.
Do it by hand once before you let a script do it forever.
Data Collection & Reporting Automation
I built Python automation tools that collect data from websites and APIs, process it and turn it into structured reports or notifications.
These workflows replace repetitive manual research and data entry. Depending on the project, the system can monitor sources on a schedule, detect changes, filter relevant information and automatically send results to Telegram, spreadsheets or internal tools.
This case represents functionality I have implemented across several automation projects.
