Action: Google Calendar Event repeats, but skips Wednesday?

Hello!  I have a Zap with the action of creating a detailed event from a date on a spreadsheet.  When triggered, I need the Monday event to repeat on Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday of the same week (skipping Wednesday).

 

Any ideas how I would do that using these menu options?

Repeat Frequency

Repeat Every X Day(s)

Repeat Until

Repeat How Many Times?

 

I need the Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday invites to be connected to the original Monday invite, because after the zap triggers, I transfer ownership to a different user.  So, for example, I can’t set an invite for Monday that repeats twice and Thursday that repeats twice, because this would require two ownership transfers.

 

My strategy before this has been to have it repeat 5 times and then just go in and manually delete the Wednesday invites.

Hey!  Answering my own question, but I think I found a non-Zapier solution.  

 

I’m going to send the invite to repeat all 5 days, and then use a Google Apps script to delete the invites for Wednesday.
