Question

Google Calendar to Salesforce Zap not filtering out dates correctly

Hi,

I have been struggling to configure my Zap so it will only trigger if there is an update on the Google calendar event.

I am attempting to configure a filter right after the “new or Updated” event trigger. Below is how I am configuring the filter, but if you look at the test results it didn’t filter out even though the record was created 01/29 and the update was also 1/29.  Does the filter take into consideration the time? TIA Miriam HXXXX

I also Ideally would like this zap to trigger if any one of 3 specific fields are updated. Not sure if I can filter for it to only fire if it was updated after created, and that it only fires if any of the 3 fields are updated. TIA

Hi there ​@MiryLopez 👋

The Filter appears to be using the (Text) Does not exactly match condition which would be looking at the entire values for a match, not just the date. So although the dates were the same, the times were different which is why it would not have been filtered out. 

To just have the filter compare the dates and not the times you could try using a couple of Date / Time (Formatter) actions to reformat them to just output the date. For example, this set up would output 2025-07-28T07:48:24.000Z:

As 07/28/2025:

Then you’d select that reformatted version of the date in the Filter.

I also Ideally would like this zap to trigger if any one of 3 specific fields are updated. Not sure if I can filter for it to only fire if it was updated after created, and that it only fires if any of the 3 fields are updated. TIA

To do that you’d need to store the original details for the event in something like Zapier Tables, or a spreadsheet. Then, the Zap could search action to find the original event details, and have the Filter compare the original details in those 3 fields against the updated values to see if they match or not.

Hope that helps. Keep me posted on how it goes!
