# Gmail, Sheets and Drive automation

> Automating the work that lives in Gmail, Sheets, Drive and Calendar, from routing attachments to generating and filing documents.

*The work that lives in your inbox, your spreadsheets and your Drive, moved into something that runs by itself.*

## Sound familiar?

- Attachments arrive by email and someone files and forwards each one by hand.
- Your spreadsheet is the real system of record and nothing talks to it.
- Documents get made from a template, renamed and emailed, dozens of times a week.
- A calendar has to reflect the status of something happening elsewhere.

## What you get

- Incoming email sorted and routed by what it contains, including its attachments.
- Sheets used properly as a registry: looked up, appended to and kept consistent.
- Documents generated, protected where needed, sent and archived without anyone touching them.
- Calendar and status kept in step with the work.
- Error handling on the fragile steps, because uploads and third-party services do fail.

QUALITECH Inspections shows the shape of it: inspector emails with PDF reports get matched to the right client from a Sheets registry, password-protected, emailed out and archived in Drive.

## How it works

We map the process as it runs today, agree what gets automated, then build and test it on real examples including the awkward ones. One hard-won rule: when several attachments arrive at once, every step in the loop has to be safe to repeat, or you silently deliver one and lose the rest.

## Questions

### Is this safe with client documents?

Yes, and it is worth designing for. Password protection, access limits and where copies are stored are all part of the scope.

### Can it run on the free plans?

Often, for low volumes. We size it honestly and tell you when volume will need a paid tier.
