I’ve created a Google Cal Zap.  When an Event is Created or Updated on CalendarA, the Zap creates a new All-Day Event on CalendarB.

What I can’t figure out is how to check if there is already an existing all-day event on that calendar for the day in question before creating a new one.

 

Background:
I have an employee’s appointment calendar, but I’m trying to create my own calendar which just tells me that employee is in that day.  So, when they book an appt on a certain day on their cal, my cal says they are in that day.  If they book a second appointment, it sees they’re already in that day, and does nothing.  Does that make sense?

Hey ​@jeffpdoes,

You can try something Find Events action to the check the already existing events in Calendar B? You can also apply filter to check for all day event. Find more about Filter by Zapier here- https://zapier.com/blog/filter-by-zapier-guide/
 


Hope it helps!


Thank you. I was having difficulty getting it to search for events on a specific date. 
 

What I ended up doing is adding the formatted date into the event description when the all-day events are created. Then when I need to find them, I can use Find Events to search for the employees name and the date which is in the description. 
 

I’m still curious about confining a search, or filtering for a specific date. It seems like Find Events only searches the Summary and Description.
