Integrations: Excel, CSV, and Google Calendar™

By Nathan ColeUpdated

Data enters and leaves Routing24 through spreadsheets, Google Calendar™, an AI assistant, and the Optimization API. This page lists each connection and where to set it up.

Excel and CSV

Orders, depots, and vehicles import from XLSX, XLS, or CSV files. Every routing plan exports as an XLSX workbook. The round trip with another system has four steps: export from your order system, import here, optimize, and export the routes back out.

Each editor page also has More > Download template, so other systems can target the headers Routing24 expects.

Google Calendar™

Press Import calendar on the Home page, authorize your Google account, and pick the calendars and a date range. Routing24 creates one order per event: the event location becomes the address. Optionally, the event description supplies the service duration and time window. With Get from event description selected, an event whose description names no window gets the Default order time window, 8am to 5pm unless you change it in the import dialog.

AI assistants

Routing24 has a built-in AI assistant. It also publishes an MCP server that Claude, ChatGPT, and other AI assistants can connect to. The assistant can be used to convert data from any format into Routing24 orders/vehicles/settings, geocode addresses and repair geocoding errors, run the optimizer, and edit the result. See The AI assistant in Routing24 and Routing24 as an MCP server.

Optimization API

The Optimization API is provided as an add-on to the Pro plans, and is available as a cloud API and as self-hosted containers. Contact us at support@routing24.com to learn more.

FAQ

How do I connect Routing24 to my order system?

The main path is spreadsheets: orders, depots, and vehicles import from XLSX, XLS, or CSV files, and every routing plan exports as an XLSX workbook. The round trip has four steps: export from your order system, import here, optimize, and export the routes back out. Download template gives other systems the expected headers.

Can Routing24 import my Google Calendar™?

Yes. Press Import calendar on the Home page, authorize your Google account, and pick the calendars and a date range. Routing24 creates one order per event, with the event location as the address; optionally the event description supplies the service duration and time window, with a default window for events whose description sets none.

Which AI assistants work with Routing24?

Routing24 has a built-in AI assistant, and it publishes an MCP server that Claude, ChatGPT, and other MCP-capable assistants connect to. Either assistant converts data from any format into orders, vehicles, and settings, geocodes addresses and repairs geocoding errors, runs the optimizer, and edits the result.

Is there an API for optimization?

Yes, the Optimization API, provided as an add-on to the Pro plans and available as a cloud API and as self-hosted containers. It is set up with the team rather than self-serve: contact support@routing24.com to learn more. For everything interactive, the MCP server and the built-in assistant cover the same operations.
