Migrate from Google Apps Script
Move timed and triggered automations past Apps Script quotas without taking on a server to manage. Translate the script to Node or Python, and Tokay runs it as a scheduled Service with recorded output and failure reporting.

The automation becomes ordinary code
You can keep the workflow while moving it to a current runtime with normal packages. Ask an AI assistant to translate the Apps Script code to Node.js or Python, then paste or push the result. Google Sheets and Gmail have standard client libraries in both languages.
Tokay detects the packages and environment variables from the translated source.
Google access becomes explicit once
Google authentication becomes a one time explicit setup instead of a credential embedded in the translated script. Create a Google Cloud service account, share the Sheet or other resource with its email address, and store the JSON key as an encrypted Tokay secret.
Tokay supplies the key through an environment variable when the scheduled Service runs. The source does not need to contain the credential.
Schedules and failures become easier to operate
Your automation can run at an exact time in the chosen timezone without depending on an open laptop or Apps Script execution windows. Set the schedule, review the next runs, and use Run Now to test the hosted job before disabling the old trigger.
Tokay records each execution and its full output. Incident email arrives when a working job starts failing, followed by a recovery email when it succeeds again.
The automation can grow beyond a script
A job that outgrows a Sheet can use a supported database in the same Project, while a dashboard or API runs beside it with access to the same secrets and data.
Custom menu items and cell functions that operate inside a Google document are usually better left in Apps Script. Timed and triggered jobs are the strongest migration candidates.
Your AI agent can verify the migration before cutover
A coding agent like Claude Code or Codex can translate the script, submit it through Tokay's GraphQL API, set the write only service-account key you provide, configure the cron schedule and timezone, trigger an immediate run, and read the output to confirm the Google resource changed as expected.
Point your agent to app.tokay.io/llms.txt for the deployment protocol.
Tokay has a very generous free tier with no credit card. Get started.
