When using the updated/new event trigger for google calendar, is there any way to get the original date and time for the event that changed? it seems that I can only access the new date and time.

Hey there
The created time of the event is sent but I’m not sure if that’s exactly what you needed.
This would be a lookup table and I wanted to share some resources on that if you decided to go that route.
I hope some of this helps! 🙂

+1I don’t think google pushes original date and time for an udpated event. But here is a work around you can try.
Google calendar sends a unique eid with every request, you can find it in html link field, this doesn’t change even if event is updated. Setup a zap to write it some where like SQL along with original event date and time. Retrieve these details back in the Zap when event is updated.
