Took me a day! I used Node, Express, Bulma, Handlebars, Passport, and MongoDB.

Hi, the author here,

That's the read-only scope that's required to query a single spreadsheet on the user's account. The API doesn't allow listing queries unless you also ask for drive permissions (which I don't).

It's one of my favourite books and I thought that it paired quite nicely when talking about software like Zapier or Tray.io that try to solve such a complex thing.

There's also https://tray.io/connectors as well where pages like https://tray.io/connectors/asana-salesforce-integrations have automation templates on them

Disclaimer: I work for Tray.io
