Google Calendar UpdateEvent Error

1

I’m having great trouble getting the UpdateEvent action to work. I followed the thread here: https://community.coda.io/t/google-calendar-updateevent-returns-error/8123

And am able to use the template here:
https://community.coda.io/t/add-attendees-to-google-calendar-create-button/11591/2

However, if I make the events full day (i.e. I add the isAllDay option to the buttons and set it to true), I am only able to update the event once before it throws an error.

Are you updating the “Return Value” when you create AND when you update the event?

For whatever reason, the update button fails if you don’t re-update the return value for it each time. The returned URL can be the exact same and it still matters.

Yes; I’m using your template exactly except changing both buttons to set the event as all day. Specifically, both the create and update buttons both modify the url column (i.e. their return value is written into the url column).

Okay, I’m getting that error on my test setup too. I don’t have a solution at the moment.

I’ll add this to our tracker and see if we can look into it.

Any resolution to any of this? The biggest hurdle for me with Coda implementation right now is the issues with calendars

I am also having issue with the calendar update function. I have a table where the update event button has worked fine for a couple of years, but last week it stopped working and I am getting the error message “Couldn’t find this action in Google Calendar”. I haven’t changed the table or any of the formulas.

I even set up a completely new very simple test table, and the update event button didn’t work in that either.
