Hi @Jarrett31378 - Thanks for reaching out!
One thing you can try is editing the title of the Calendar Event for your regular events. You can find this by going into your Event Settings > More Options > Notifications and Workflows - Here, you can edit the calendar Invitation and change the event title:
The Default is Invitee Name + Event Host - So changing this should fix it!
Let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks for the response.
The automation from zapier uses one-off meeting format which can’t customize the google event title. If there is a way I can customize the title, that would solve my automation.
Hi @Jarrett31378, you are absolutely right. With a One-off Meeting, the calendar invitation title isn’t customizable, so Google Calendar [and the Google Meet session name it displays] won’t pick up a custom pattern like a regular event type. But it sounds like your automation depends on a specific title. I can think of two routes your might explore. These are rough descriptions of workflows and might require some tinkering.
- Use a regular event type and customize the Calendar invitation title under More options → Notifications and workflows. This lets you use the event’s name (or other variables) so the Google Calendar event title matches your automation needs.
- Keep using one-off meetings and add a small Zapier step to rename the Google Calendar event after booking:
- 1) Trigger: Calendly “Invitee Created”.
- 2) Action: Google Calendar “Find Event” (by start time/organizer).
- 3) Action: Google Calendar “Update Event” to set the Summary to your desired title (for example, the one-off “Meeting name” you entered).
- ^^This should keep the Meet link while also preserving a consistent title.
