Automating This Template with Google Apps Script

You can extend this spreadsheet with custom Google Apps Script automations. For instance, to automatically email PDF summaries or notify a Slack/Google Chat webhook when new rows are added:

function onEditTrigger(e) {
  const sheet = e.source.getActiveSheet();
  const range = e.range;
  
  // Log modified row coordinates
  Logger.log('Modified row: ' + range.getRow() + ' col: ' + range.getColumn());
  
  // Custom business validation logic can be added here
}
