how do i map time and date from an email to a calendar.

 

im converting details sent in a table form (time and date ) into a calendar event in google calendar.

 

everything is working well but the event start and stop are using the time and date the email is sent as the event start time.  i can see in the exampler email where the date and time are mentioned on the table but it always uses the send date and time

It sounds like you aren’t parsing the email data to get the date and time of the event. I think you may have confused the input data to send the datetime the email was sent or received with the data you want to extract from the email.

If you could show your configuration, obscuring personal data it may help see if this is correct.
