Hi
Good question.
You would first need to do email parsing, then data translation.
Email parsing can be done with a series of Formatter > Text steps.
Or email parsing can be done in a Code step.
Then you can use a Formatter > Date / Time > Format step to get the date into the format that GCal requires. (see below)
Another option is to use AI to parse the email and transform it into the desired format.

Regardless of the settings in your Google Calendar, data sent through their API (as Zapier does) must be in MM/DD/YYYY
format. So, if you try to send an event for April 7, 2021 as 07/04/2021
, Google Calendar will interpret that as July 4, 2021. The dates need to be in MM/DD/YYYY
format to ensure Google Calendar adds the event to the correct date(s). If your trigger is sending the data in DD/MM
format, you can use a Formatter step to reformat the date.
