## The dumb\* way of adding Google Sheets to Calendar

I’m willing to bet that 99% of you currently add Google Sheets to a Google Calendar event in 1 of 2 ways:

1. Using the “Attachment” icon
2. Adding a hyperlink in the description

## Connecting Google Sheet to Calendar in 1 step

Here’s a hassle-free way to achieve the same result without having to toggle between Sheets and Calendar:

1. From within Google Sheets, add a **Smart Chip** (by using the @ shortcut)
2. Select the related Calendar event
3. Hover over the Smart Chip > Attach to Calendar Event

The Google Sheet is now added to the Calendar invitation without you having to go back-and-forth between the two tabs!

*\*I don’t really mean dumb, because sometimes you still want to add a Google Sheets file from within the Calendar invitation* 😏
