How to create Google Calendar invites for attendees from Flodesk sign-ups?

I am looking to integrate someone signing-up for something on my landing page (Flodesk) to generating a calendar invite for the attendee. I use Google Calendar for my calendar. 

What’s currently happening is that my Zap is adding a Calendar invite on my calendar instead of the attendee’s calendar and I don’t know why.

Hi @JillB 

For us to have more info, post screenshots showing how your Zap steps are outlined and configured in EDIT mode.

OBSERVATION: I don’t think you need Zap step 4 to update the GCal Event.

For Zap step 3, you need to set the Attendees fields by mapping a variable from Step 1.

That mostly worked - except I (the sender) am still getting another invite as well. Thoughts?

Troy/Ken -- Is there a way I can give you access? I’m beyond frustrated with this (not you). It should not be this hard.

Things to check/adjust:

  • Help links for using GCal in Zaps: https://zapier.com/apps/google-calendar/help
  • Start/End Date/Time: click the Field Label to see a tooltip with more info about the expected date and time format to use.
  • Error indicates you: Cannot specify both default reminders and overrides at the same time
    • You’ll need to adjust the Zap step 3/4 field configurations to address the error
