Is it possible to automate Google Spreadsheets Scripts (e.g. without an event to trigger them)?

Question

Does anyone know if it's possible to use Google Apps Scripts to run without needed a manual event? Meaning - I would like to set up a spreadsheet to send a form every day at a specified time. I have figured out how to manually send the form by executing a script, but has Google implemented to ability to set a script to run in the future (and on a recurring basis)?

I have searched for an answer but can't find one.

Thanks...

Answer 1

No, that is not possible. Cronjobs are available only in Google App Engine. What is possible, is invoking a script from distance (have not tried it), so you might use an own built application to call a script function.

Answer 2

It's actually possible. Have a look at http://code.google.com/googleapps/appsscript/guide_events.html#Installable
