I wish to have a zap that sees when a new full day or multi day event is created, which has a default availability of "Free", it will create a duplicate event where the only thing it changes is availability is now "Busy". 

I want to do this because I sometimes forget to set availability as Busy when I am off work and with the availability set to free, my clients could schedule an appointment via Calendly when I am supposed to be off work. 

I don't see a filter for events that are full day. What would you suggest?

Hi @Jason Co 

Good question.

You’d likely need to add a Filter step that checks the Events Start/End times.

I thought of that, but full day events don’t have start/end times that shows on the event. unless it’s there and Google just doesn’t show it?

I’d recommend comparing the data for the event start/end dates/times for a full day vs partial day to help you determine how to configure the filter conditions.

Post screenshots of the data from each example to help us have context.

Thank you for replying and sorry for being a complete noob as I am unsure how to proceed from here. On Google Calendar, I am unable to see the start/end times for a full day event, so unsure how to begin comparing the data as seen on the screenshot below. 

Is there a way I can see the data zapier takes in from Google Calendar events?

Test and check the DATA OUT (returned) from the GCal Zap trigger step for the 2 examples. (full day vs partial day)
