Help with Extracting Event ID (UUID) from Calendly in Zapier

Hi everyone,

I'm currently setting up a Zap in Zapier to automate the cancellation of events in Calendly based on specific criteria (like the phone number country code). The issue I'm facing is that I need to extract the Event ID (UUID) from the Calendly event URL, and I'm having trouble doing that in Zapier.

Here’s an example of the URL I get: URL?period=upcoming&uuid=aae4d698-35d3-48f7-b03c-6cfdc985ebb9

I want to retrieve only the UUID part: aae4d698-35d3-48f7-b03c-6cfdc985ebb9, and then use it to automatically cancel the event in Calendly.

However, I can’t seem to find the right field or method in Zapier to extract this information. Has anyone encountered this issue before, or know of a solution to get the Event ID?

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance.

Hi @Damien55 

Zap action: Formatter > Text > Split

Split at: uuid=

This is so dumb. Why would we need to manually format an input needed by another step from the same provider?

 

Just make it an output out of the box

@AlekCastillo 

The data returned is defined by the app’s API endpoint/webhook data schema, so that would be a feature request best shared with Calendly Support.
