Troubleshooting: Zap is not triggering on Google Calendar events to control Local Line store.

Hi Troy thanks for your response!
Let me know if this helps.

Some context about the Zap trigger step config.

@Mayan 

Can you post a screenshot with an actual GCal event that you are trying to trigger on?

Hi there @Mayan,

I’m jumping in to see if I can help!

I checked out the screenshot you provided, and it seems like there's nothing wrong with your Zap setup. To test it out, could you please create a new test event on your Google Calendar for the current day? Name it "Open Store" and set the start time and end time to be just 5 minutes apart. This will help us determine if the Zap triggers successfully.

By the way, have you explored the Schedule by Zapier app? It seems like it could be a perfect match for your workflow in this case.

Let me know how the test goes, and if there's anything else I can do to help! 😊

For the GCal Event End to trigger, there would need to be an event that has ended since the Zap was created.

Some events are missed by the "Event Start" trigger

This can happen if you set the field Time Before for an interval shorter than what your plan allows.
Event Start is a polling trigger, so the interval depends on the plan.
The Free and Starter plans, for example, check for updates in the trigger app every 15 minutes.
This means you'll need to set the Time Before field to 16 minutes or more, or the Zap might miss some events.
