Hi, I only started using Make about a week ago, so forgive me if I’m missing something obvious. Thanks in advance for any help!
I have a list in ClickUp, and I set up a scenario to take the tasks in the list and create an all-day Google Calendar event on the task date (custom date field, not due date).
What I’m wondering is how I can make sure Google Calendar events are updated if the date changes on the ClickUp task. Do I need to set up a new scenario or can I do it within the one I have? I tried playing around with a couple different triggers but I can’t figure it out.
If it helps, this is my existing scenario. (I have the router because I have two different custom date fields and each one needs its own calendar event.) This scenario is currently working. It added the dates but if I change a date in ClickUp, it seems like it will just create a new event, rather than update the existing one, right?
Hi @J.Stone
I would suggest such a solution.
- Extend the current logic of your scenario to save the event ID on the related ClickUp task.
- Set up a make scenario to update the required event if the date changes.
- Set up the ClickUp automation that will watch date changes and call the Make’s webhook URL if it happens.
Hey there,
you can setup an automation on ClickUp side to watch for changes in that specific custom field and then call a Make webhook when changes happen. This can be used to trigger your scenario to update an Event. Also, once the initial event is created, you can store the event ID in a custom field in the task it self, so you know which event needs updating.
Thank you both so much, @ponvaskon @Stoyan_Vatov! I was unfamiliar with webhooks so I’m learning about that tool now.
If I’m understanding correctly though, this scenario is only able to check and update one event at a time? So I’d need a new scenario for every task/event?
@J.Stone, you can run the webhooks sequentially or in parallel. Setting up a separate scenario for each task/event is unnecessary.
