How to import a job schedule into Google Calendar?

Process: Integrations and accounting. Reviewed 2026-10-07.

Short answerExport your job schedule from your field software as an ICS or CSV file, then import it through the calendar's Import and Export settings on a computer. Google Calendar accepts both file types there. [1] The result is a snapshot, so later changes in the schedule do not follow.

The explanation

Google's help page says to export events from the other application first, choosing CSV if you can pick a format. [1] For a job schedule, map each visit to an event: the job name as the subject, the arrival window as start and end, the address as location and the job notes as the description.

Then in Google Calendar, open Settings, choose Import and Export, select the file, pick the calendar to add events to, and click Import. [1] By default events go to your primary calendar, so consider creating a separate calendar first so you can remove the batch if something is wrong.

Remember what the page says: guests and conference data are not imported. [1] The import does not stay in sync with your software afterward. If you need a live view of the schedule in a calendar, look for a feed or sync option instead of repeating imports.

What to watch for

  • Importing into your main calendar, which makes undoing harder.
  • Treating the import as a live link.

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 an iCal subscribe feed, and two-way Google or Outlook calendar sync. Both are partly built, so a one-time export is the safer assumption for now.

  • SC15Two-way Google/Outlook calendar sync(In progress)
  • IG04Google Calendar(In progress)

Apex Flow Scheduler is in early access. See how we label status.
