Under Color ID I don’t know which item to select that would pull the color codes from Google Calendar?

@Dawnee 

Is there another data point from the Zap trigger that would tell you which color it is?
Unless there is a returned data point from the Zap trigger that indicates the Color ID you are seeking, you may have to instead use a Lookup Table as a Zap step: https://zapier.com/help/create/format/create-lookup-tables-in-zaps

So I’m following the steps but still don’t know what would be the Lookup Key? What’s the lookup table?

@Dawnee 

The concept of a Lookup Table is to translate 1 value to another value.

e.g.

INPUT | OUTPUT

Red | 1

Green | 2

Blue | 3

 

But that depends on having some value to use as the input.
