Authentication
VerveSheets authenticates through the add-on. You sign in once with your Verve key — there are no request headers, tokens, or code involved.
Sign in with your Verve key
VerveSheets authenticates through the add-on — there are no request headers, tokens, or code involved. Open the VerveSheets sidebar in Google Sheets or Excel and paste your Verve key once. The add-on stores it for your account, and every =VERVE() formula in every sheet uses it automatically.
Your key isn't in your cells
The Verve key lives in the add-on, tied to your account — not in the spreadsheet. Sharing a sheet does not share your key; each collaborator signs in with their own.
Managing your key
- One key per account — the same key powers every cell, in every sheet, across Google Sheets and Excel
- Rotate anytime — regenerate from the dashboard, then re-enter the new key in the add-on sidebar
- Sub-keys & scoping — issue restricted keys for team members or clients on Pro/Mega plans
Security Best Practices
- Keep your Verve key private — treat it like a password; don't paste it into shared docs or messages
- Rotate if exposed — regenerate immediately and re-enter it in the add-on
- Use scoped sub-keys for shared workbooks so each person's access can be revoked independently
