Email not sending 45 mins before Google Calendar event, but works fine 1 day before

I have set up automations to send an email 1 day and 45 minutes before the google calendar event to the invitees/attendees of a calendar event. The day before event zap runs smoothly, but the 45 minute before zap doesn’t send the email.  I duplicated the day before email and just changed the configuration to run 45 minutes before instead of 1 day before. When I test the 45 min before zap, it doesn’t pull an event from the calendar I have selected, but it does with the 1 day before. This is the first time I have used a specific calendar within the account instead of the general calendar associated with the account. What am I doing wrong?

 

Here’s how I have it set up

Hi @L3Found 

GCal help links: https://zapier.com/apps/google-calendar/help

You should still be able to get the Zap turned ON, then you can test live.

Check your Zap Runs history for activity: https://zapier.com/app/history/

 

I am trying to test the "Event Start" trigger, but it doesn't work

When testing an Event Start trigger in Google Calendar, ensure your test event is due to start at least 15 minutes before the current time.

Thanks for the reply.  Wouldn’t you know, it started working after I created this post.  No changes, just started working.
