The problem it solves

You need screenshots of a list of websites for reference or reporting, but opening each site and capturing it by hand is repetitive and slow. Keeping the images organized in one place adds even more manual work.

Who it fits

Teams building visual archives of web pages, like content curators or competitive researchers.

How it works

  1. Triggers when a new row with a website URL appears in your Google Sheet
  2. It sends that URL to a screenshot service
  3. A screenshot of the site is captured
  4. The image is saved to your Google Drive folder, named using the title from your sheet
What you get

A growing visual archive you can browse anytime

You add a link to your sheet and get a saved screenshot in Google Drive named and ready to reference.

What you get

A screenshot image saved to Google Drive for every website listed in your sheet.

What you need

A Google account and a CustomJS API account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.
