Hi there, I am having issues with adding to google calendar, here is the object I am giving it: {
clientId: ‘f7087b76-31ff-488b-a715-c3ba8e0cc1d6’,
actionComponentId: ‘google_calendar-create-event’,
configuredProps: {
summary: ‘Test event’,
eventStartDate: ‘2025-11-14T10:00:00’,
eventEndDate: ‘2025-11-14T11:00:00’,
description: ‘test description’,
addType: ‘detailed’,
timeZone: ‘Europe/London’,
googleCalendar: { authProvisionId: ‘apn_x7hl5o7’ }
}
}

And the response I get: “err”: {
“name”: “Error”,
“message”: “Start and end times must either both be date or both be dateTime.”,
“stack”: “Error: Start and end times must either both be date or both be dateTime.\n at makeErrorObservation (/var/task/node_modules/@lambda-v2/component-runtime/src/makeErrorObservation.js:7:11)\n at captureObservations (/var/task/node_modules/@lambda-v2/component-runtime/src/captureObservations.js:30:24)\n at process.processTicksAndRejections (node:internal/process/task_queues:95:5)\n at async run (file:///var/task/component_maker.mjs:157:20)\n at async file:///var/task/component_maker.mjs:199:11”
}

I have tried every permutation of date/time formatting, with and without timezone etc and it’s not working and I can’t figure out why

Does it work if you specify the timezone in the start and end date? e.g.
2025-11-14T10:00:00Z
2025-11-14T11:00:00Z
without passing the timeZone prop

Nope, still get the same issue

Can you try in the connect demo: One SDK, thousands of API integrations

I used the same parameters as you and it worked fine
