Build Subscription Reminder System with Apps Script & Gmail

Are you paying for subscriptions you have completely forgotten about?

You are not alone. The average person pays for eight to twelve subscription services every month — streaming platforms, software tools, music apps, cloud storage — all quietly taking money from their account on different dates, often for amounts they stopped thinking about long ago. Individually each payment feels harmless. But added together across twelve months, the total is often surprisingly large.

This course gives you the solution.

What you will build:

In this hands-on micro course you will create a fully automated subscription reminder system using three completely free Google tools — Google Sheets, Google Apps Script, and Gmail. The system stores your subscriptions in a simple spreadsheet, checks for upcoming payments every morning at 8am, and sends you a personalised email seven days before and again the day before each payment is due. The email shows you exactly when the money goes out, how much it costs monthly, how much it is costing you every year, and prompts you with honest questions to help you decide whether you still need it.

Because the entire system runs on Google’s cloud servers, it works 24 hours a day whether your computer is on or off. Set it up once and it runs itself every single month, every single year — completely automatically.

No coding experience required:

Every line of code is explained in plain English from scratch. If you have never written a single line of JavaScript before, this course was designed specifically for you. All you need is a free Google account and a web browser.

What makes this course different:

This is a pure project course. There are no abstract theory lectures or lengthy introductions. Every module builds directly towards the finished working system. You will understand what every line of code does and why — and by the final module your reminder system will be live, tested, and sending real emails to your inbox.
