Google Calendar creates multiple events

I have the issue that google calender is creating multiple event entries.

Workflow is quite easy: if an event created in calendar A, make an event in calendar B:

But the problem is that multiple events are created in calendar B.

Could you pls help?

Issue is still there. Anybody an idea?

Hello @sm9900 , Welcome to the community :wave:,

Is the new event created in Calendar A a recurring event? If so, please keep the toggle in the trigger off as shown in the image.

Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately no, it happens to every event, also non-recurring events. And it’s already deactivated:

I’m having the same issue. I dug into the details of the runs and came to realize that a new event was created every time someone accepted the invitation to the original event. That makes sense because the process begins with “New or Updated Event”.

But as far as what to do about it so that doesn’t keep happening, I’m at a loss. @sm9900 did you figure anything out? @kishanprmr do you have any ideas?

Looking through the API, “sequence” seemed to be promising. I tried to use a branch to test if sequence=0 before proceeding to create a new event but upon testing it, someone accepting an invite registers as an event update but it doesn’t increase sequence so duplicate entries were still made and that’s a bust.

Hello @aurora , Welcome to the community :wave:,

Are the trigger and action steps using the same calendar?

I will test it for the invitation acceptance scenario to see if it triggers the flow multiple times. I will update you once it’s fixed.

Hey, thanks for the response. No, I have the events set up to trigger from new event in Calendar A and action to add event to Calendar B with a step in between to check for a keyword (to avoid an infinite loop of events because I have another one set up from Calendar B to Calendar A).
