I used Google apps script to make a full invoicing automation system with Zoho CRM, Zoho Invoice, Google Drive, Google's Spreadsheet-to-PDF tool, and Google Cloud Print.

There were a bunch of gotchas in terms of the 6-minute runtime, the available runtime per day, and the script just getting killed randomly.

I managed to work around them all after a lot of hair-pulling... We ran ~15k invoices through it last year!

impressive! Good job. But this hair pulling wants me to say "It's the VBA of Google"
