When you’re using Zapier, it can be frustrating if the trigger or action you need doesn’t exist. If you’re technically minded, you may be able to build your own, but sometimes there’s a simpler solution. If you’re using Calendly with Zapier, you’ll know that there isn’t a Zap trigger for an event being rescheduled. This post explains why that is and, more importantly, how you can work around it using a Filter by Zapier step.
