Google Docs has really made me crazy and I am in love with it since last 1 year. While you can do many things with Google Docs using App Script, here in this article I am going to summarize some of the unique use of  Google Docs which will really make you feel wow! As per our past statistics we observed, our Google Docs related articles are getting most appreciation. So I thought it would be better to summarize the most popular ones on a single page with their usefulness.

"What else you can do with Google Docs"

1. Schedule Emails in Gmail Using Google Docs

   Many times we need this type of options in Email services. Presently Gmail is the widest used Email service but unfortunately lacking this great feature. This Google spreadsheet will help you to schedule emails to be delivered in some future date. Just provide your date and time of delivery, mention your subject, body (supports both plain text and HTML) and close the spreadsheet. When the particular time arrives it automatically sends the email and logs the activity in a sheet.

2. Get Notified By Google When Somebody Contacts You

   This is the one which I have already used in this blog. If somebody contacts me via online form, I get an instant SMS notification on my mobile and a brief summary. Reading that SMS I can determine the urgency of the message. If it is an urgent one I then open Google Docs to check the entire message. Thus it helps me to track my visitors responses. I don't think you will need any explanation other than this.

3. Create Interactive HTML Tables With Google Docs Easily

   What do you mean by interactive ? An HTML table will be really dumb without interactiveness. Nobody will ever look into the data if you display them as it is. To make them more meaningful and to add flavors, you need to keep some extra options like sort and filter. This article explains how you can do it easily with Google Docs. No need to use any 3rd party plugins and frameworks.

The ease of data in/out has made Google Spreadsheet popular among its users. This article describes how you can use Google Docs to publish exam results online easily.

7. Display Your Gmail Inbox Count in Your Website

   I believe this as the most craziest use of Google Docs. Not so much useful but still you get an option to display your today's unread count to your audience. This counter changes in real-time.
