New problem with Google calendar

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

I built a flow that has been working great for me for months, but now it's not working exactly right.

Form submission absence form writes info to an email and places the absence as an event with the person's name on a Google Calendar, as an "all day" event. Weekly, I will manually "print" the calendar to a PDF. Last week when I went to print it, events on the calendar that were generated from the flow do not show on the print. They are visible on the calendar, but with the printout, they do not show at all.

Nothing has changed with the flow itself, it does work correctly in placing the event on the calendar, I just can't figure out why suddenly they aren't showing on the print. Events I create manually on the calendar print fine. I realize this must be a Google problem, but I have searched Google help and I'm not seeing anything relevant to my situation with a flow. I have to then duplicate the item on the calendar and delete the auto generated one in order for it to show on the print. This makes the flow sort of useless if I have to mess with it to make it work on the printout.

Any ideas? Thank you in advance.

    Thank you. Here is some additional information that I am not sure is helpful.

     

    The calendar is located in my company's G Suite account.  I am not sharing the calendar with others in the company domain or any other specific people or users.  It is not integrated with any other calendar.

     

    The events that post from the Flow look just like any other event created by me manually within the calendar.  And I don't see any other settings in the Google Calendar that look as if they control that.  They appear exactly the same, they just disappear upon Print while the manual events I create remain.

    Hi,

     

    This does appear to be some kind of issue with how Google is reporting their calendar to us. Ideally to fix it on our side we would need to find some way to create these events that still allows it to show up on your report. I would start with experimenting around with that. Likely there will need to be an adjustment on the Google side though to get it working again how it is. 

     

    Regards,

     

    Alex
