I use Zapier to copy events between a subscribed calendar (read only) and Google Calendar, using the “New or updated event”- and “Create detailed event”-zap.
Sometimes the subscribed calender updates an existing event. This causes my Zap to make a duplicate in the destination calender rather than updating the existing event. This is not what I want. I found another built in Zap, “Update Event” but I am not sure how to use it.
- I don’t know what to search for. UID is probably not the same in the source and destination calender. Title might be something that has changed (and may not be unique). Is there some smart solution to this problem?
- I am required to enter a start and end date for the search. This seems to be a good way to create a zap that easily breaks. I would prefer to not enter that but since I am forced to do it, can I enter something that means “from the start to the end of the calendar”?
I have read this question
which is similar to mine but the answers don’t address my issues.
Thank you
