See your Google Sheets content calendar in Google Calendar

Plan posts, articles and newsletters in a spreadsheet, where it is easy to sort and filter. Calendrow puts each publish date on a calendar so nothing slips.

Who it's for: Marketers, creators, editors and small teams who plan content in a sheet.

The template

Make a copy in Google Sheets Download the template (CSV)

After making a copy, check the time zone: File → Settings → Time zone. A copy keeps the template's zone (US Central), and Calendrow reads times in the sheet's zone. CSV: in Google Sheets choose File → Import → Upload, then "Replace spreadsheet". Dates use the YYYY-MM-DD format, which Sheets reads as real dates in any locale.

Set it up in 3 minutes

Open your sheet (or the template) and choose Extensions → Calendrow → Open Calendrow.
Match the columns:

Description Channel / Owner / Status (combine with a formula)
Create a calendar for it (Calendrow suggests a name), click Preview, check the times, then Sync.

Calendrow field	Column
Title	Title
Start	Publish date
All-day	All-day
Description	Channel / Owner / Status (combine with a formula)

Every row gets a status: Created, Updated, Unchanged, Skipped or Error, with a plain-English reason. Sync again any time; changed rows update their events and nothing is duplicated.

Tips

Put more in the title with a formula like =D2&": "&A2 ("Blog: Holiday gift guide").
Use all-day events for publish dates so they sit at the top of the day without blocking time.
Moved a date? Change the cell and sync again. The event moves with it.

Questions

Can the status column change the event color?

Not today. Use the status in the title or description. Each calendar has its own color, so a separate calendar per channel is another option.

Does editing the event in Calendar change my sheet?

No. The sheet is the source of truth: if someone edits the event in Calendar, the next sync puts it back to match the sheet and tells you why in the preview.

The free plan creates up to 100 new events a month and writes to calendars Calendrow creates for you, which you can share like any other calendar. Syncing into your existing calendars is coming in Calendrow Pro.
