Question

Zap that creates a Google Calendar is duplicating on each trigger

I have created a Zap that creates a Google Calendar event. Simple enough. But everytime the zap triggers it creates two duplicate events. Any ideas?

Hey @chapinhemp, welcome to the Community! 🙂

Yikes! That doesn’t sound good at all. I took a quick look on our side to see if there were any bugs reported that a might be causing these duplicate events to be created, but I couldn’t see any.

What’s the trigger for the Zap? I’m wondering if maybe the issue is with the trigger app. It could be that it’s triggering twice and in doing so causing two duplicate events to be created. Do you think that could be the case here or is the Zap History only showing the Zap triggering once for each event? Looking forward to hearing from you on this!

Hi @chapinhemp 

Good question.

Make sure you only have 1 Zap ON that performs the desired action.
