I need to format the date from Google Calendar (2024-12-18T08:30:00-03:00) to ISO 8601 Calendly (2024-12-18T11:45:00Z or 2024-12-18T11:45:00+00:00).
I've been trying with Zapier Formatter in many ways and always fails.

How can I do it?

I believe your input date is already in the ISO format.

Here's the breakdown:

2024-12-18: Date in YYYY-MM-DD format.
T: Separator between date and time.
08:30:00: Time in HH:MM:SS format (24-hour clock).
-03:00: Timezone offset, indicating 3 hours behind UTC

The formatted datetimes you are entering are wrong because the -0000 offset is invalid. To correct this the the offset should be -00:00. Although this will be different from your input timezone of -03:00 or three hours behind UTC. 

To convert to UTC just add a Z at the end 2024-12-18T11:30:00Z or format the offset as -00:00


Another issue is that the meeting is 15 minutes long but your start and end are the same time your end datetime should read 2024-12-18T11:45:00-03:00 15 minutes after the start.

Do let me know if I understood the problem correctly.

Thanks for the answer.

Yeah, you’re right, but this is only one of the many solutions I tried. I also try using the G Calendar raw date format, and input manually and problem still there.
