Cannot find google calendar description

[amas]

Hi,

I’m trying to parse some text from the description field of a Google Calendar event.

I’m using the “Event Started” trigger in Google Calendar.

The issue is that the test response I receive when setting up the trigger is from an old event from 2021, and it doesn’t contain any description — so the field I’m trying to parse isn’t available in the sample data.

I’ve already tried disconnecting and reconnecting my Google account, but it still loads that same outdated event as the test response.

Interestingly, when I use the “Event Added” trigger instead, it does detect the latest event I added and shows the description correctly.

But with the “Event Started” trigger, I can’t get it to load a recent event for testing.

How can I refresh or change the test data for the “Event Started” trigger so it uses a recent event with a description?

Thanks!

HI @amas,

Please create a new dummy event in your Google Calendar with a 'Description' and wait for it to start. Then, click on 'Save & Send Test Request' in the 'Event Started' trigger step to see if it helps fetch the latest event in the trigger step.
