SHORTCODE
– Basic Usage: [simple_event_sheets]
* Ensure your Google Sheet has the row headers: date, name, url, event_info, day_info. The date should be formatted as mm/dd/yyyy. Implement data validation on the date and url rows to prevent errors. Note: This plugin also offers built-in data validation.
* event_info: Additional information about the event, displayed next to the event name.
* day_info: Additional information about the day of the event, displayed next to the date.
* Regarding the Google API Key: You’ll need an API key with Spreadsheet access. The sheet should either be set to “anyone with the link can view” or you should add a service user. If you’re utilizing server-side event loading, restrict the key by server IP. For client-side loading, restrict the key by domain.

You can use this Google Sheet as a template if wanted, it includes data and url validation to help ensure good data quality. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/18NnmKKU7P6bFOPEHgyUMWeKQWQJnAfYb5gmn0-fne1E/
