Hi, I used to have this workflow with the deprecated google calendar module. I realized it stopped working, so I updated to the new one, but it turns out it doesn't pull the updated task, it pulls other tasks, but not the updated one.

I tried the same thing in Make.com, it pulls the data properly.
I had to stop the workflow just because of this. I don't understand how these updates are made without testing, it breaks workflows, please test before making these breaking changes. And please fix this so I can run my workflow again.

Hello @turksavas,

Apologies for the inconvenience caused.

Please note that the new Google Calendar trigger works only for newly created calendars, and this is mentpdated or previously existing events are not captured by this trigger.

Could you please confirm whether you have tested the workflow for a new calendar? This will help us verify if the trigger is functioning as expected.

We look forward to your confirmation so we can assist you further.

Hi, that notice exists for "New and Updated Event (Instant)" trigger, but it is not there for the Updated Events trigger. Also, I want to use and existing calendar, don't want to create a new calendar.

To test like you asked, created a new caledar, created 6 events. When I try to get events for that calendar, it doesn't work either.
It worked when I tried the New and Updated Event (Instant)" trigger but didn't work with the "Updated Events".

What I want, is to be able to use my old calendar, and keep triggering the workflow when an event is updated, how can I do that?

Hello @turksavas,

Thank you for the clarification.

Please note that polling-based triggers are no longer recommended, and the “Updated Events” trigger is not recommended for use at this time. Currently, capturing updated events is supported only via the “New and Updated Event (Instant)” trigger, and that too only for newly created calendars.
