Every function you've written this month does one thing: call an action, parse the response, return a value. Actions are nouns — a Sheet, a doc, an email. This week you write verbs. What does a verb look like in code?
A function that calls two or three actions in sequence? The output of the first one becomes the input of the next — like the Sheet range feeds the email body?
That's it exactly. Fetch the Sheet range, format the rows, pass them to GMAIL_SEND_EMAIL. One function, two apps, one Monday morning ritual replaced. The action enum doesn't change — the architecture around it does.
I ran the capstone in my head just now. Read the KPI tracker, send myself the digest, create the prep event. Three apps. I know every action I'd use for that.
You do. And this week you wire it for real — including what happens when one step fails. A live automation that crashes halfway is worse than no automation at all. Error handling is not optional; it's part of the verb.
