  • Can I automate Gmail to create Calendar alert from "New Reservation" email subject?

I want to create an automation on gmail: when I receive a message from Moon Dunes Apartment with the subject: New reservation, I want to create an alert on my calendar the day before the date mentioned in the subject. Is it possible?

Hi @Rikywin 

Good question.

Yes, try these Zap steps

  • Trigger: Gmail - New Email Matching Search
  • Action: Formatter > Text > Split
  • Action: Formatter > Date & Time > Add/Subtract Time
  • Action: GCal - Create Detailed Event

Thank you Troy, I appreciate it. :) 

I gave it a try but unfortunately it’s a bit too complicated for me :-o

thks anyway :)
