How to parse single/multiple dates from email to create Google Calendar event?

Question

I am trying to take an email with an event date in it and have an event created on my google calendar. I have it working if I make a quick event but ti wont work with a detailed event. In the original email with the event, sometimes only 1 date ie 3/2/22 is listed sometimes a date range is listed ie 3/2/22 - 3/3/22 and I think this is the problem. I have tried making the date one field in parseur and putting that into the start and end date field of the google calendar and also tried making 2 fields but then for emails with only 1 day listed parseur fails as the second field doesnt exist. Any ideas on how to do this without creating a whole second parseur?

Hi @Howellnj

You can try using 2 Zaps or 1 Zap with Paths to handle the different logic.

thanks...I actually got it working by using formater to replace the field when null and it's working great

Thanks for looping back to share you solution, @Howellnj!
