Hi there,

How to retrieve all Google Calendar events in the past 7 days and store them into a Google sheet? I saw there is the option to “add”, “update” or “search” calendar events but not sure if they can achieve the goal.

 

The only way I can think of is every time a calendar event has been added, send it to Google Sheet. Is there a way to do bulk export instead?

 

Thank you all!

Hi @OliveiraHero 

Good question.

Most Zap app triggers/actions work on a per record basis, meaning only 1 record.

If you go with your approach of logging the GCal events into a GSheet, the you’ll need to potentially use a formula to derive the WEEK for a given event.

That way you have a standardized value that can be used in the GSheet Lookup Row Zap action to get the matching rows of GCal events.

Thank you! @Troy Tessalone  I guess based on what you said, we have to log every new event and can’t retrieve previous events just using Zapier.
