How to parse single/multiple dates from email to create Google Calendar event?


I am trying to take an email with an event date in it and have an event created on my google calendar. I have it working if I make a quick event but ti wont work with a detailed event. In the original email with the event, sometimes only 1 date ie 3/2/22 is listed sometimes a date range is listed ie 3/2/22 - 3/3/22 and I think this is the problem. I have tried making the date one field in parseur and putting that into the start and end date field of the google calendar and also tried making 2 fields but then for emails with only 1 day listed parseur fails as the second field doesnt exist.  Any ideas on how to do this without creating a whole second parseur?

Hi @Howellnj 

You can try using 2 Zaps or 1 Zap with Paths to handle the different logic.
