Noob question: google calendar event to twitter message

I'm new to Zapier.

This feels pretty basic but I have a zap that triggers based on a Google Calendar event start time. I want to take the event description and send it as a tweet. Only if the search term Tweet is found. That all seems to work fine.

My problem is the @ symbols seemed to be stripped from the tweet. Is there a way to escape these in the event description so they are included in the tweet?

Hi @BrettJephson

When you input the tweet message in the "Create Tweet" step, there's a note below that describes why the @ are removed.

The content of your new tweet. You can truncate text with a Formatter action to meet Twitter's 280 character limit. Note: In order to comply with Twitter's terms of service, this text will have all @mentions removed. Read more here: http://zpr.io/6MUuH
