AppSheet is a no-code development platform that lets anyone without coding experience build mobile and web applications. You can build AppSheet apps from data sources like Google Sheets, Excel, Cloud SQL, Salesforce, and other similar connectors, or use a built-in AppSheet database. App user activity syncs to the connected data sources.
Apps are dynamic and can be used across mobile devices or browsers. Automated workflows can also be incorporated into apps for sending notifications, generating emails, creating custom reports, modifying data across any connected source, and more.
The following table summarizes the AppSheet free and add-on subscriptions available to your Workspace organization.
As an Administrator for your organization's Google Workspace account, you can manage the following security features for users with AppSheet Core licenses:
Sharing AppSheet apps and databases with external app users.
Connecting to external app data.
Automating emails to external recipients.
Using external integration through the app API
Using webhooks.
In this exercise, you will practice enabling AppSheet and managing its features for an organization.

The sharing with external app users restriction applies to the app itself and doesn't necessarily restrict automation events that are triggered by changes made to external sources (e.g., automations triggered by submissions to a Google Form by external users).
App owners can configure their apps in ways that prevent AppSheet from identifying who is triggering the automation event. It is always the app owner's responsibility to ensure that external sources comply with their organizational rules and policies as well as AppSheet terms of service.
Customers with AppSheet Enterprise Plus can configure policies to limit external triggers based on the data source type or event type.
