How to import data into Google Calendar?
Short answerImporting data into Google Calendar moves event titles, dates, times, locations and descriptions, but not guests or conference data. [1] Repeat events brought in from a CSV may arrive as a series of one-time events, so check them after the import. [1]
The explanation
Google's help page states that when you import an event, guests and conference data for that event are not imported. [1] That matters for a service business: if your old calendar listed a customer as an attendee, that link will not carry over, so keep the name in the title or description.
The same page warns that repeat events from a CSV might not show up as repeating, and instead appear as one-time events in a series. [1] For a weekly lawn customer, that means fifty separate events instead of one series, which is awkward to edit later.
After importing, spot-check five or six events: the date, the time zone, the location and the description. Look at a recurring customer especially. If anything is wrong, delete the batch and fix the source file, which is easier when you imported into a separate calendar.
What to watch for
- Assuming guest lists will follow the events.
- Skipping the spot-check on repeat customers.
How Apex does it
In progress
Part of this is built. The rest is not. Status as of 2026-10-07; the badge shows the least-built feature involved.
Apex works toward recurring jobs generated automatically, an iCal subscribe feed and a CSV customer export. All three are partly built, and none depends on repeating a one-time import.
- SC10Recurring jobs auto-generated(In progress)
- SC16iCal/ICS subscribe feed(In progress)
- LD16Customer export (CSV) at any time(In progress)
Apex Flow Scheduler is in early access. See how we label status.
