I want a zap to create a trello card everytime a recurring calendar event starts on my outlook calendar. After creating the flow, recurring events don’t show as an option. One-off events do show. Am I using the wrong trigger?

Recurring calendar event data not pulling from Outlook

I’m so sorry we missed your posts here previously
I just came by to report that the New Event Start (Microsoft Office 365) trigger is now able to trigger on recurring events! 😁🎉
That said, if you find that your Zaps still aren’t triggering on recurring events though please do let us know in the Community or reach out to our support team and we’ll be happy to investigate that further.
Until then, happy Zapping! ⚡

Hi
It looks like triggering on recurring events is not supported at the moment. It's something other users have asked for so I've gone ahead and added your vote for this feature request.
You’ll be notified via email if that feature gets added to the Microsoft Office 365 integration!

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.

I’ve just created a Zap from Outlook calendar to Google Calendar with this purpose, but it does not work.
Thanks!

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?
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.

Hi
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.
