Strava to Google Calendar - can't set event end time

Question

Hello.

I’m a runner and I’d like to use my google calendar as a log of my training of sorts. I’d like zapier to create events on my google calendar in sync with my runs. For example if today I went for a run of 21min13s starting at 11:00 am I’d like it to create an event starting at 11:00 am and ending at 11:21:13s.

The start date works just fine with the date-time stamp it pulls from strava. The problem is the end date. I tried setting it to be the “startdate+elapsedtimeinseconds/minutes/hours’ but it just doesn’t work and sets a duration of 8,9,10 hours.

I’ve found a workaround for it.You need to add Formatter stepbetween Strava and Google Calendar. Set it up so it will add elapsed activity time to start date of the activity and then convert it to usable format. Then in Calendar just use the output of that additional step.Here’s my configuration of Formatter:And here’s Google Calendar step setup for time and date.If you need additional information about converting date and time or using formatter step, check it out here:https://zapier.com/help/create/format/modify-date-and-time-formats-in-zapsGood luck!
