Google Calendar

Google Sheets

Google Calendar events keep you and your team organized and on track. But creating events on Google Calendar can be tedious when you do it repeatedly. Not to mention, manually entering dates and times can make for human error and inaccurate calendars.

How to create Google Calendar events from a Google Sheets spreadsheet

Set up your spreadsheet

In your spreadsheet, create and label columns for the event name, start date, start time, end date, and end time. Add in a few rows of information if it's empty. This will help when you test your Zap. Be sure to name your spreadsheet.

Set up your Google Sheets trigger

In Zapier, choose Google Sheets as your trigger app and select a trigger event. Then, choose your previously created spreadsheet as the source, and run a test to find sample data. If you've never used Zapier before, you'll need to create an account. You'll also need to connect your Google Sheets account.

Set up your Google Calendar action

In Zapier, choose Google Calendar as the action app and select an action event. You'll need to connect your Google Calendar account and select the calendar where you'd like the events to be created. Using sample data from your trigger test, you'll tell Zapier what information from the spreadsheet row to use in creating your calendar event.

Test your Zap

When you've finished your action setup, test your Zap. Make sure the event in Google Calendar looks the way you expect. If it doesn't, tweak your steps until it looks right. Then, turn on your Zap.

Ever need to create calendar events in bulk? Or let others easily add calendar events for you? Or perhaps you just find it easier to manage your calendar in a spreadsheet. If so, this integration makes it easy: it will create new Google Calendar events straight from new rows whenever they're added to a Google Sheet, so you don't have to worry about adding them twice.

Create, edit, and share spreadsheets wherever you are with Google Sheets, and get automated insights from your data.
