The Google Alerts service makes it easy for you to monitor brand mentions and your favorite topics on the Internet. Just specify one or more keywords and Google will send an email notification when new web pages matching your search keywords are found on the web.

The Properties Service of Google Apps Script is used by developers to store app configuration and user specific settings. The properties data is scoped to a specific user, or a specific project, and cannot be shared between different projects. The Email Form Notifications add-on also uses the Properties Service to store rules that are defined by the user. The rules created by User A are not accessible to User B. However, in some specific cases, we may want to give access to our store data to another user so they may build upon the existing configuration rather than having to build everything from scratch. The new import export option allows the user to export properties data as a plain text file that can be imported into the property store of another user. Access the Property Store On the server side (Google Script), we define two methods - one for exporting data as a JSON file and the other method for importing data from the property store of another user into our own. /* C...
