Google Calendar & Trello - stuck in loop

Hey @javabean8 ,

There is a way to solve this. First add a custom field to record Google Calender event Id on Trello Card. Edit your Zap to below. 

1. New event added in Google Calendar → Search for Trello card where lookup key is above custom field and value is event id → If Trello card does not exists → Create a Trello Card (Add google Calendar details with calendar id)

2. New card added in Trello → (If above custom field value is empty) → Than create an event in Google Calendar → Add Google Event id in the newly create calendar event.

Hi @javabean8 

Please give it a try on the suggestion of Jayesh and keep us posted!

Thanks for the response and while it seems like this should be clear, I still don’t understand what I am supposed to do.

In the Zap where I have the calendar event FIRST and want to add it to Trello, I set up to add a “Custom Label” with the event ID.

I don’t understand how to then search for that label in the other Zap. Am I using the filter? If so, how?

Thanks for your help!

Hi @javabean8! 

Since you are in the process of utilizing @jayeshkumarbhatia  recommendation, I’m going to tag them just in case I am interpreting this wrong. I believe the step you are missing, as indicated, is Paths by Zapier. This sets up conditional logic for your Zap.
