Question

Google Calendar triggers not pulling real data in Zapier

Zapier’s intergration with Google Calendar is glitchy - it cannot pull any real test data when testing the “Event Start” or “Event Ended” triggers.

Instead, Zapier spits out its dummy data, which I then have to manully edit. Come on Zapier - you can do better!

Hi ​@Arsie 

Help links for using GCal in Zaps: https://zapier.com/apps/google-calendar/integrations#help

Some Zap app integrations only return records with representative data.

You should still be able to configure your Zap steps.

Then you can turn the Zap ON and test live.

Check your Zap Runs history details to see the DATA IN/OUT for each step to help you troubleshoot: https://zapier.com/app/history/

Can you update the intergration to return actual records?
