Event Start is a polling trigger, so the interval depends on the plan. This can happen if you set the field Time Before for an interval shorter than what your plan allows. Some events are missed by the "Event Start" trigger Adding at least 15 minutes to the end date/time will ensure it's displayed in other views. If you need your event to show up in other views in Google Calendar use the Zapier date/time modifiers to adjust the end date/time. Google Calendar doesn't show events with a length of 0 minutes in some of their view options. If you click on agenda view in Google Calendar you will see the event show up. If you set the start and end date/time to the exact same time you might not see the event in Google Calendar in some views. My events aren't showing up in Google Calendar, but the Zap says it was successful To avoid this, you can add a Filter step, to check if the Created at date is after a certain date, such as the Zap's creation date, and avoid old events triggering the Zap. When checking for events on Google Calendar, Zapier looks at the last updated date and gets any events updated in the last three days, regardless of when they were created. If older events in Google Calendar are updated, this can cause the Zap to trigger on them.

The "New Event Matching Search" trigger is firing too often or on old events If none of these steps addresses your problem, try to use Formatter by Zapier or date/time modifications to correct any date differences between apps. Events created with an invalid start or end date will be created for the time your Zap runs. This may happen if the start and end time/date are invalid. Is your detailed event appearing in the calendar for the same time the Zap ran? If you're using the Quick Add Event action instead of the Create Detailed Event action, there are some specific guidelines that must be followed to make sure that Google Calendar can interpret the date and time correctly. Are you using the "Quick Add Event" action? If your trigger is sending the data in DD/MM format, you can use a Formatter step to reformat the date. The dates need to be in MM/DD/YYYY format to ensure Google Calendar adds the event to the correct date(s). So, if you try to send an event for Apas, Google Calendar will interpret that as July 4, 2021. Regardless of the settings in your Google Calendar, data sent through their API (as Zapier does) must be in MM/DD/YYYY format. Is the event created on the wrong date, specifically with the month and day switched? You may also want to check that app's help pages on Zapier to see if there are any known limitations or restrictions for date/time fields. Refer to the help documentation of any other app in your Zap, to check the timezone on that app.Check your Google Calendar timezone settings.Change the Timezone settings for your Zapier account.When the timezones don't match between apps, this can cause the event to not be created on the expected date and time. This will cause the event to last for an extra day.Ĭheck the timezone setting of both the trigger and action apps, and in Zapier. Or, modify the end date in your Zap directly by adjusting the date/time to include +1d.

Update your trigger data so that it lasts for an extra day.For example, an event created via Zapier for August 10 - August 15 will appear to span August 10 - August 14 in Google Calendar, because the event will end at 12:00:00 on August 15. Are you creating an all-day event?Īll-day events in Google Calendar end at midnight on the last day, so they're exclusive of the end date.

There are a few reasons why events might be created for the wrong time or date by a Zap. My events are being created for the wrong date and/or time To trigger off a repeated event, use the Event Starts trigger. A repeated event would cause an infinite amount of Tasks to occur since when created they have no end date by default. Repeated events in Google Calendar aren't supported with the New Event trigger in Zapier. To fix this, have the owner share the calendar with you (even if it's already public). If the calendar doesn't belong to you or hasn't been shared with you, Google will not provide the Summary or Description fields.
