Step 1: Prepare the Google Sheet
- Place your order data in a Google Sheet. Let’s assume the sheet name is
"Orders" and the data starts from the first row (with headers: Order Number, Item Name, Order Status). Here’s an example.
- Give your sheet a title (tab on the bottom left corner). Make sure this is simple and you can reference later (if you have gaps, use underscores e.g. sheet_title).

Step 2: Create the Google Apps Script
- Open Google Sheets.
- Go to
Extensions > Apps Script.
- Open ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini etc and paste the following:
I would like you to help me write a google app script that accepts my input request [e.g. Order numbers] and returns a JSON response with the corresponding output [e.g. Order status]. For reference for the layout of my data, I’ve attached/provided a link/provided a sample of my Google Sheet. Here’s an example of the structure i’d like you to follow… [Paste the code below].
- Delete any code in the script editor and paste the script you got back from the AI tool.
Step 3: Deploy the Script as an API
- Click
Deploy > Test deployments.
- Select
New deployment > Web app.
- Set a description (e.g.,
"Order Status API").
