Hi,

I’ve created a Zap that creates a G calendar event for every new Evernote reminder.

I also read Amend Google Calendar event title when amend Evernote note title, which 11 months ago said this feature has been requested.

My questions are,

  1. How can I find the status of this feature request?
  2. Is there a way that Zapier can modify my G cal event time when the corresponding Evernote reminder time is modified?
  3. Can Zapier remove events from my G cal when the corresponding EN reminder is marked done?
  4. Do I need to request #2 or #3?
  5. Generally, it seems that Zapier is quite limited. Can’t use Zapier’s EN triggers to trigger events in EN itself, only in other apps; I apparently need to change something in EN to cause a Zap to fire, there’s no way to have Zapier just check every so often and then do something, is there?

Hi @John in Michigan USA 

 

Check out the available triggers/actions/searches for each app.

GCal: https://zapier.com/apps/google-calendar/integrations#triggers-and-actions

 

Q&A

  1. How can I find the status of this feature request?
    1. You’ll have to submit a ticket to Zapier Support here (https://zapier.com/app/get-help) to be added to the feature request as those aren’t publicly available currently.
  2. Is there a way that Zapier can modify my GCal event time when the corresponding Evernote reminder time is modified?
    1. No & Yes
      Evernote doesn’t have a trigger for updated Reminder.
      GCal has an Update Event action.
  3. Can Zapier remove events from my GCal when the corresponding EN reminder is marked done?
    1. No & Yes
      Evernot doesn’t have a trigger for completed reminder
      GCal has a Delete Event action
  4. Do I need to request #2 or #3?
    1. FYI: Most Zap app integrations are created and maintained by the app developer, rather than Zapier, altho unsure who manages these Zap app integrations.

    1. You may have to go with a more advanced approach and leverage the Evernote API (https://dev.evernote.com/doc/) via Webhook steps (https://zapier.com/apps/webhook/integrations).
