I work shifts and run a business. I subscribe to my shift schedule (a URL) on google calendar. I would like to be able to block off the day automatically after a night shift.
There is a zapier template for a preparation block of time before specific meetings based on using a search phrase, but I can’t find one for a post-meeting block of time. In my case, I would like to automatically set up a calendar “event” to sleep for X hours after my night shift ends.
I appreciate any ideas you might have.
Question

Hi
Good question.
Try these Zap steps:
- Trigger: GCal - Event Ended
- Action: GCal - Create Detailed Event
Thanks - I am struggling with the Action. I am unclear what to put in the Action for start date/time and end date/time as I want this to happen automatically every time a new shift is added to the google calendar.

Start Date/Time would be the end date/time of your shift event.
Then you can use the same value and use a date modifier to add X hours as shown in the link.

Hi
Were you able to get that Create Detailed Event action set up using a date modifier as Troy suggested?
