Hi,

i am new to Zapier. I am trying to build a Zap to creat an external google calendar that show the actual usage period  of equipment and not the planning period. Rentman.io only offers links with planning period. But I have often down days in my planning period and would like to show my techs the actual work days before i book them. 

I tried several times but so far without luck and often i get response Zap not activated even thou the test was sucessful.

 

Hi ​@Joern Novotny,

 

Welcome to the Community.

It sounds like you're trying to reflect the actual equipment usage period—not just the planning period—in Google Calendar using data from Rentman.io. To do this, ensure your Rentman trigger captures actual usage data (via custom fields or tags if needed). Use Filter by Zapier to exclude planning data, and Formatter to adjust dates (e.g., remove down days). If your Zap isn’t activating, check that required fields are filled, account connections are valid, and review the task history for errors. If the issue persists, contacting our Zapier Support team can help with deeper troubleshooting.
