Hello all,

I would like to know if it is possible to change the account parameter depending on the data contained in a catched webhook.
I’m explaining myself: I would like to be able to add an event to a specific google calendar account depending on the data I’m catching in my webhook.

Here is the sketch: 

As you can see I am first catching a hook and then I would like to dynamically change the “Choose Account” section depending on the webhook data… 

Is there a solution to my problem? 

Thank you all! 

NO, you cannot dynamically change a Zap app step Account.

YES, you can create separate Zaps and add a Filter step to ensure the desired Zap app step account is used.

 

Since you’re using a Webhook app as the trigger you’ll need to either adjust the setup of the app that’s sending the webhook to fire multiple webhooks.

Hi Troy thank you for your answer!


Since I have more than 70 accounts to handle and it tends to increase, it seems that this solution is not the good one… If I understand your answer I’ll have to create 70 different zap? Each one containing the good account.

Thank you

[advanced] You can look into leveraging the GCal API: https://developers.google.com/calendar/v3/reference

For those interested this may be great to read this:

Unfortunately, it's not possible to dynamically update the G Cal account that's connected to a Zap. That's hardcoded - you can only select one option. But, you can copy the Zap as many times as you want to connect other accounts, then use a Filter step so each Zap only continues along specific parameters: https://zapier.com/help/create/customize/add-conditions-to-zaps-with-filters
