Basecamp To Do to Outlook

I was wanting to setup up a zap when a new To Do is created it creates an Outlook Task for the assignee of the to do. I realize that the only option is to create an Outlook Event. But without hard coding a time stamp, the zap doesn't create an event. Is there a way to use the data natively available in Basecamp to successfully create an Event aka don't need to hard code in a time but simply use the Basecamp Due Date? Also, if I have multiple team members, is there a way to only send it to the member who is assigned the to do?

You've mapped that right so far, you just need to add a space after the date mapping and then hardcode a time.

As it's just to create a todo, the time doesn't matter, right?

In that case start could be 06:00 and end could be 07:00

Can you show us a screenshot of where you're being asked for a timestamp?

Thanks! I really wish it would create an outlook task, but I'll take the somewhat random "timed" event in the meantime! Thanks for your help!
