Again, Google Drive (and Apps) by itself is not really an Enterprise Content Management system. But, by combining frevvo with Google Sheets, Maps, Drive and other APIs, customers can easily create their own unique online forms and digital workflows that meet real-world business requirements, work automatically on mobile, are cloud-based and securely save the documents to Google Drive. Once in Drive, the documents can be managed, shared and searched.

The combination gets you closer to having ECM-like functionality at an incredibly affordable cost.

Tip

customers building applications that are high volume and address critical business processes should not use Google Sheets in place of a production quality database.

Google Sheet Best Practice

Create a new user in your Google domain and make that user the owner of all the Google sheets that integrate with your forms/flows. This is recommended for the following reasons:

  1. It will eliminate confusion when searching for the correct sheet that integrates with your forms/flows.
  2. When you use the Google Wizards it will show all sheets that are available for integration in the dropdown.
  3. Reduces the chance of another user changing a column or worksheet tab name which could break integration with your forms/flows.
