Google Calendar and Sheets in Velveteen

Updated July 1, 2026

The short answer

Google Calendar and Google Sheets are separate Velveteen integrations. Google Calendar creates a Velveteen Releases calendar and syncs release dates to events Velveteen owns. Google Sheets mirrors royalty reports into app-created Google Sheets, with a Manage page for sheet selection, report windows, and manual syncs.

Use Calendar when you want release dates in Google Calendar. Use Sheets when you want royalty reports mirrored into spreadsheets. Both are different from the Google Drive card, which is for choosing and importing files.

Google Calendar

Velveteen Releases calendar

Velveteen creates a secondary Google Calendar for synced release dates.

App-created access

Velveteen can manage events on the calendar it creates, not your existing calendars.

Sync now

Run an immediate release-date sync from the Google Calendar card.

Reconnect

Reconnect if the card says Calendar needs a new authorization before syncing.

Royalty Sheets

Royalty sheet

Create an app-created Google Sheet to mirror your royalty reports.

Sheet picker

If you have more than one app-created royalty spreadsheet, choose which one Velveteen syncs to.

Sheet sync window

Choose all time, last 3 months, last 6 months, or last 12 months of royalty reports.

Label sheets

Label admins can see label royalty sheet sections when their label account can use them.

How to sync Google Calendar

  1. 1

    Connect Google Calendar

    Use Connect Google Calendar on the Integrations page.
  2. 2

    Run Sync now

    Use Sync now on the Calendar card. Velveteen creates the Velveteen Releases calendar on the first sync if it does not exist yet.
  3. 3

    Review the events

    Open Google Calendar to see synced release-date events on the Velveteen Releases calendar.
  4. 4

    Disconnect when needed

    Disconnecting stops future syncs. Existing events in Google Calendar remain.

Tip

Velveteen does not ask to read or write your existing calendars for this flow.

How to manage Google Sheets

  1. 1

    Connect Google Sheets

    Use Connect Google Sheets on the Integrations page.
  2. 2

    Open Manage

    After connection, the Google Sheets card shows a Manage action that opens /dashboard/integrations/google.
  3. 3

    Choose sheet settings

    Set the active royalty sheet and royalty report window.
  4. 4

    Sync on demand

    Use Sync now for the royalty sheet when you want an immediate update.

Heads up

Manual edits inside a synced royalty spreadsheet can be overwritten the next time Velveteen syncs that sheet.

Frequently asked questions

Can Velveteen sync to my existing Google calendars?+

No. The Calendar flow creates and manages a Velveteen Releases calendar instead of listing or writing to existing calendars.

Can I have more than one royalty spreadsheet?+

Yes. The self royalty sheet section supports creating more than one app-created spreadsheet and choosing the active one.

Why can Velveteen only see certain spreadsheets?+

The Google Sheets flow uses app-created file access, so the picker is built around spreadsheets Velveteen created and tracks.

Is Google Drive required for Calendar or Sheets?+

No. Google Calendar, Google Sheets, and Google Drive use separate authorization flows, so each card can be connected on its own.
