How do I add a file from Gmail to an event on Google Calendar?

This is as far as I’ve got. I get the email, parse it to find the event I want and it successfully finds the event I want. Now I don't know to add the attachment from that initial email to the event. Any help? 

Hi @gldc 

The Zap action for GCal Update Event doesn’t support files.

You may want to take the approach or uploading files to GDrive, then updating the GCal Event Description with links to those files.

OR you may have to explore using the GCal API.

Hi, yes I’ve tried using the App extensions beta and I can’t get it to work no matter what. It keeps coming back with the same error: “https://zapier.com/app/extensions/api/v1/actions/13176/run: {"errors":[{"status":500,"code":"generic_error","title":"Error during execution: Invalid URL","detail":"Error during execution: Invalid URL"}]}”

I've tried this too but I have liked the attached files in events as gcal also sends invitees an email with the attachment and my event invitees need access to the files offline so this is an easy way for them to access the files. Frustrating it isn't just in the update calendar invite default option.

The email invite sent by GCal includes the Event Description which would contain the links to the file that the recipient could download.
