Google Apps services

Google provides Apps services to enable GAS to interact with the Apps. Almost all of the Apps provide one or more services. You can use these service classes in your GAS code to customize or automate Apps. Services are grouped as basic and advanced. You can use basic services directly, but for advanced services you need to enable them before using them. You will see how to enable them later on.
