Hi,
I created a zap to create a new card in a Trello board when there is a new or updated event. It seems to work fine with regular scheduled meetings but it doesn’t transfer my recurring meetings. How can I fix this so that I will have my recurring events on Trello?

Hi
Zapier’s “New Event” trigger doesn’t trigger on recurring/repeated events by design, because recurring events can occur infinitely into the future.
There are a couple of ways that you can work around this:
Use the Event start trigger. Set up a Zap that triggers from an event start and creates a Trello card. You can set the amount of time before the event at which the Zap should trigger, so you could, for example set the Zap to trigger 2 weeks before the start of the event so the card is created 2 weeks before the event.
Although creating a new recurring event doesn’t trigger, updating a recurring event should trigger the Zap. Currently, if you update all events in a recurring series your Zap will trigger for each event in the series. A HUGE CAVEAT here is that could trigger thousands of tasks if your event recurs infinitely.
