Hey there, @JOSEARGENTINA - thanks for reaching out in community! We definitely want to help.

Are you able to expand on your desired workflow a bit for us? It sounds like we’re working with Google Sheets and Google Calendar so sometimes phrasing it in the form "When this [trigger] happens in Google Sheets, do that [action] in Google Calendar” helps us get a clearer idea. 🙂

I know you mentioned you’re hitting an “invalid value” error in Google Calendar regarding colors.

I’m not 100% certain if this is what you’re looking for but there’s a another question here regarding color coding events in Google Calendar:

Essentially it’s advising that Google Calendar is looking for a single digit vs the hex codes. They did list the chart in that topic though! 

If that isn’t what you’re needing though, let us know and we’re happy to keep looking into this for you!

JAJA ok.  so it's much easier than I thought.

 

Thank you very much
