Frequently asked questions
What is GridBee?
A Chrome extension for Google Sheets and Apps Script. It opens as a side panel beside your sheet and adds six focused modules: Mastery, Flow, Stylist, Vaps, Automation, and Health. It is not a SaaS dashboard — it is a companion that lives inside your existing Google workflow.
How do I sign in?
Google OAuth via chrome.identity, exchanged for a Firebase id_token. No password required, Google-secured. You can revoke access any time at myaccount.google.com.
Where does my data live?
Your sheets, docs, decks, and calendar stay in your Google Drive — GridBee only touches the file you have open. Your settings sync to our Google backend so the panel feels the same on every device.
Does Flow really work without Apps Script?
Yes. Flow is a PWA at flow.gridbee.app you install with a QR code. It talks to your sheets through GridBee’s connection — no scripts, no triggers, no webhooks. Add it to your home screen and start submitting.
What can Automation actually create?
Five flavours: Docs, Slides, Sheets, Drive folders, and Calendar events. Each has a Trigger column you tick. GridBee writes Status, Run At, and the output URL right back next to the row. Headers wrapped in {{Name}}-style braces become placeholders that get replaced per row.
How do Mastery badges work?
A 50-question, 45-minute timed quiz drawn from a 1,000+ question bank across 10 sections. Score 0–49 Beginner, 50–69 Foundational, 70–84 Proficient, 85–94 Advanced, 95–100 Mastery. Pass and you get a badge with a verify URL anyone can check.
What does Health check?
On-demand scan of every tab in the active sheet. Health flags error cells (#REF!, #N/A, #VALUE!, etc.), volatile formulas that recalculate on every edit (NOW, TODAY, RAND, INDIRECT, OFFSET), and performance against the 10-million-cell quota. You get a per-tab score and a prioritised list of fixes.
