How to replace a Google Calendar filter with a custom action in Zapier

Created my Zap years ago. If it ain’t broke, don't fix it… I was playing with the new AI and it created a custom action or new filter for my zap. My Zap takes New Google Calendar events and adds them to Zoho Creator. Problem is when updating a recurring event Google Calendar sends updates for past events as well as well as updates to up coming events (Example: Event occurs every Wednesday for the year 2025. If I update the event in February I receive updated records from Google Calendar for the entire year, not for February to December). 

So I created a filter: if event start date is greater then today’s date then add the record to Zoho creator. If not, ignore it.

So now i want to remove the existing filter and add the custom action/new filter described above. How do I do this?

Locate the current filter step and delete it, it’s better to work from scratch instead of editing the one you have. This will not break any other steps you have... Click the + button where the old filter was (or between the trigger and action steps). Choose Only continue if... as the filter type and (Date/Time) Is After, and configure as per your needs.
