Calendly Cancellations with Google Sheets


Forum|alt.badge.img

Hi everyone, I want to setup a trigger so that when a calendly event is rescheduled or cancelled, it automaticaly updates the google sheets row of cancelled to “TRUE”. I have been trying to reference the row through the UUID (unique event id created by calendly) but I am not having any success with it. Has anyone done this before? Thanks!

Did you successfully test Zap Step 2?

This shows an example value of “Value in column G”, but the Zap expects as numerical value.

Hi @dershea 

Please post screenshots with how your Zap steps are configured for us to have context, thanks.

Thank you, I have 3 steps to it

 

 

 

Step 2 isn’t working, it is not finding any info from the database.

You need to map a variable using the ‘custom’ option from the Zap trigger step to this field instead of using a static value.

Check this help article: https://zapier.com/help/create/basics/set-up-your-zap-action#set-up-your-action

Which field exactly are you referring to that I should change in screenshots I sent? I tried to change the “Lookup Value” in Step 2 but there is no option for a custom field.

Sure, here is all of step 2 above and then Step 3 below. I already have another Zap that adds new calendly entries to a new row so there are no issues with the permissions.

This mapped variable needs to be a number

 

Use this variable

@dershea 

For Step 3 in the Zap, for the Row field, you need to make sure this variable is mapped from Step 2.
