why is this so difficult? 

I get a weekly email with my work schedule in it.

this is an example of the body of the email: 

Friday, December 6

12:00 PM – 6:30 PM (6h 30m)

Saturday, December 7

11:30 AM – 5:30 PM (6h)

 

etc.

 

All I want is to extract these dates and times and create a google calender event based on them. I’ve been trying this for an hour. Can someone help?

Assuming you have the trigger set up and working correctly, I would use AI by Zapier or ChatGPT as the next step and ask it to extract the time and dates into a usable output. Then add them to Google Calendar.
