@Danvers please add me as well to the users who want this feature. Many of my meetings are recurring and I thought setting up the Zap would save me a lot of time. Highly frustrating to discover that none of my (majority) recurring meetings are assigned cards.

Is there still no solution to this problem? I would say 80% of my meetings are reoccurring, so having a solution would be very helpful. 

 

Would it be possible to use a different calendar (i.e. Google) and somehow forward all appointments and meetings from outlook to Google?

You can use airtable and digest to create a workaround for this Zap so 'recurring events' will be created (mind you invite people endlessly often) 

 

Are you interested in a zap we share? 

Please!

Please add me to this feature request. It is critical for some automations we would like to do. 

@Wemakefuture I would love to see how you worked around this in Airtable.

Hey @LukaBazooka, hope you’re well!

The feature requests itself is tracked internally, so I don’t have a public link to share.

That said, I was able to add you to the interested user list for the feature. We’ll be sure to alert you ASAP if this feature becomes available. :)

Where can we find a link to that feature request?

Please add me as well. 

@Britman99 I’m not sure I’m following your suggestion. I have a filter step set up right after the calendar trigger and still no triggers from the recurring event with that specific name are coming through.

Hey @Britman99!

Thanks for chiming in with the workaround/solution you’ve come up with :)

B

I found a couple of workarounds. One is to have the recurring Outlook meeting with a specific name (or specific set of characters in the name) and filter on those letters. That’s not so good since it will generate unnecessary results if another meeting happens to use that character string. The other, better for me, option is to not use Outlook at all, but to instead use the Zapier scheduler to setup the recurring event and then trigger my text sending from RingCentral via the scheduler.

Hi @Mattias Eriksson and @Britman99 I’ve added your votes to the requests :)

@Liz_Roberts please add me and @Britman99 . Thanks in advance

B

Add me as well please. The only reason I’m looking at zapier is to automate sending a text when a specific recurring meeting happens.

M

I’d like to vote too! Where can I vote?

Hi @Chiara! I’ve added you to that issue - thanks!

@nicksimard Hi! Same here, please add my vote for Outlook recurring events (set also by other collegues and I’m just added as a participant).
I’ve just created a Zap from Outlook calendar to Google Calendar with this purpose, but it does not work.
Thanks!

Ditto here!  I’m trying to keep my google calendar uptodate with my Outlook calendar and if I can’t include recurring events then it’s basically useless.
