Introduction

Managing schedules, appointments, and bookings is seamless with Google Calendar. With AppSheet, you can take that experience even further. By turning your calendar into a powerful custom app, AppSheet makes event management more flexible, interactive, and accessible across all your devices.

In this guide, we’ll walk through how to connect Google Calendar with AppSheet and highlight the key benefits along the way.

Step 1: Create Your Calendar

Start by creating a dedicated calendar in Google Calendar. For example, you can name it “Book Appointments.” This calendar will serve as your event database.

To do this, open Google Calendar and go to the Settings menu. From there, select “Add Calendar” and choose “Create New Calendar.”

• Enter a name for your calendar and set the appropriate timezone.

• Once you're done, click “Create Calendar” to finish the setup.

Step 3: Customize Your Views

Once connected, you can edit the app to fit your workflow. Here are some settings you can modify:

View Type – Display events as cards, a table, a calendar, or deck for easier browsing.

Custom Grouping – Organize events by year, month, week, or use custom labels for better filtering.

Format Rules – Apply colors to highlight event statuses (e.g., green for active, orange for pending, red for cancelled).

Step 5: View and Manage Appointments

With your app ready, streamline your scheduling process:

Cross-Platform Access – View upcoming appointments on mobile, tablet, or desktop for flexible access.

Book Appointments – Use the app to schedule new meetings and send invites directly to participants.

Track Invitations – Instantly see which events you've been invited to, with quick access to meeting links and details.

This transforms your Google Calendar into an interactive event management system.
