Hi, :) 

I tried creating a zap which would add the pick update at time to the Google calendar It is only working if I update the google sheet manually, but doesn't work when the form is filled. Can you see what I did wrong?

Form:
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1_IxqRS7QW546rLiqzgzZBshn0W7ivUZc8v8DQrFqEuc/edit

Field:

ZAP:

Hi @Zaid 

The screenshots provided don’t show the action step(s) of the Zap.

Please provide those.

Hi @Zaid,

 

From your screenshot, it looks like the date and time are not separated i.e “2/11/20215:00:00AM” I would put a space between those inputs 2/11/2021 5:00:00AM. 

When you say it’s not working, Is it not adding an event at all or is the event showing up at the wrong date/time?
