Notes on Google Sheets (Spreadsheet) integration
Please do not edit the spreadsheets automatically created by TimeRex.
Editing within the "Events" sheet may result in unintended data updates or linkage errors.
The following two details require special attention.
Note 1: Do not move / add / delete columns
Do not move/add/delete columns in the linked spreadsheet.
Do not add columns in the middle of the data either.
Unintended columns may be updated.
Note 2: Do not change the worksheet name
Do not change the sheet name of the automatically created "Events" sheet.
If the sheet name is changed, an error will occur and data will not be linked.
If you have already changed the sheet name of the "Events" sheet, change it again to "Events" and the data will be linked correctly from the next booking completion.
Even if an error occurs in the linkage, bookings or cancellations can still be made.
About the automatically created spreadsheets
A spreadsheet will be automatically created with the name of the calendar entered when "Connect with Google Sheets" is clicked.
If the calendar name is blank, an untitled spreadsheet will be created.
An "Events" sheet and a "Document" sheet are created in the automatically created spreadsheet.
The "Events" sheet will be blank, and the first time it is linked, a row of items will be added to it along with the data rows.
A link to this support page will be inserted in the "Document" sheet.
If you rename the scheduling calendar after the spreadsheet is created, the spreadsheet file name will not be changed.
If you change the file name of the spreadsheet, there will be no problem with the linkage, but please be careful not to lose track of which spreadsheet is associated with which calendar.
If you are not sure which spreadsheet is associated with which calendar, please click "Go to Spreadsheet" to check the spreadsheet.
The automatically created spreadsheet will be stored in the my drive of the member who has been set in "Selecting members to link GoogleSheets".
If you delete the linked spreadsheet manually, TimeRex will not be able to detect it, and you can confirm that the file has been deleted when you click "Move to Spreadsheet"
The trash button to the right of "Go to Spreadsheet" allows you to delete the spreadsheet in conjunction with the calendar, but it does not delete the spreadsheet that has already been created.
The linkage will continue even if the destination folder of the automatically created spreadsheet is changed, so please move the spreadsheet to a shared folder if necessary.
About the automatically created "TimeRex" folder
TimeRex" folder is created in the my drive of the Google account of the member selected in "Select the member to link GoogleSheets".
If the "TimeRex" folder automatically created by TimeRex does not exist when "Connect with Google Sheets" is clicked, a new "TimeRex" folder will be automatically created.
If you have manually created a "TimeRex" folder in My Drive, a separate "TimeRex" folder will be automatically created.
If you rename the automatically created "TimeRex" folder, the linkage will continue, but when a new spreadsheet is automatically created, the "TimeRex" folder will be added to My Drive again.
If you move the autocreated "TimeRex" folder, the linkage will continue, but the "TimeRex" folder will be added to My Drive again when a new spreadsheet is autocreated.
What will be posted to Google Sheets
The contents of the linkage are basically immediately reflected in the spreadsheet.
However, in the case of a rescheduling by a guest, there will be a time lag in reflecting the changed date and time. (Cancellations are reflected immediately.)
Rescheduling from a guest will register the schedule before and after the change, respectively.
The spreadsheet includes as follows:
Event ID (Unique appointment ID issued for each schedule adjustment)
Schedule (date / time zone)
Web meeting url (left blank if "Off" is selected in Online Meeting Settings)
Status (Confirmed / Cancelled / Rescheduled)
The status of newly registered appointments will be displayed as "Confirmed"
The status of canceled appointments will be displayed as "Canceled
The status of the rescheduled, unchanged appointment will be displayed as "Rescheduled" and the status of the rescheduled, rescheduled appointment will be displayed as "Confirmed".
Cancellation reason
Canceller
Participants (name(s) of member(s) attending on the host side)
Created at (date and time when the schedule was confirmed)
Company name (guest's company name)
Name (guest's name)
Email (guest's email address)
Comment (Guest's comment)
Type（New / Rescheduled）
old_event_id（Event ID before date and time change / only if "Type" is "Rescheduled"）
new_event_id（Event ID after date and time change / only if "Status" is "Rescheduled"）
Other information obtained from the guest (answers to the items set by the question customization function)
