What a Google Classroom scheduling add-on does
Google Classroom supports scheduling individual posts, but it does not support recurring posts. A scheduling add-on fills that gap by connecting to your Google Classroom account and publishing assignments on a repeating pattern — daily, weekly, monthly, or termly — at the time and day you specify.
The key outcome is that teachers who manage weekly homework routines, recurring platform reminders, or termly revision sequences can set the schedule once and stop managing it manually.
How Class Add-Ons Scheduler works as a Google Classroom add-on
Class Add-Ons connects to your Google Classroom through the official Google API using OAuth. After sign-in, it displays your active classes and lets you create scheduling tasks.
Each task includes:
- The target Google Classroom class
- The assignment title and instructions
- The recurrence pattern (daily, weekly, monthly, or termly)
- The publish date, time, and stop date
- Optional due date (fixed or relative to each publish date)
- Optional links or Google Drive attachments
Once a task is saved, Class Add-Ons publishes each occurrence automatically and sends an email confirmation when each post goes live.
What makes this different from Google Classroom’s native scheduling
| Feature | Native Google Classroom scheduling | Class Add-Ons scheduling add-on |
|---|---|---|
| Schedule a future post | Yes | Yes |
| Recurring posts | No | Yes |
| Set a stop date for a series | No | Yes |
| Custom due date per occurrence | No | Yes |
| Email alert on publish | No | Yes |
| Manage multiple class schedules | Manual per class | Dashboard view |
Permissions and privacy
Class Add-Ons requests only the minimum access needed to schedule and post classwork: view your Classrooms, and post classwork on your behalf. It does not access student records, grades, email accounts, or passwords. You can revoke access from your Google account at any time with a single click.
