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
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
- Beginner
Thank you Troy, I appreciate it. :)
I gave it a try but unfortunately it’s a bit too complicated for me :-o
thks anyway :)

We would need to see detailed screenshots with how your Zap steps are configured to have context.
