I’m running into an issue with the Google Calendar Trigger on n8n.cloud. No matter how many new events I create in my embedded “[email protected]” calendar, the trigger only ever returns the same historical event it never detects any of my newly created bookings. Does anyone know why??
The manual test run won’t give you the latest result.
If you want to get it. Activate the workflow → create a new event → and wait for most 1 minutes. You will receive the latest event coming in execution tab.

Thank you so much. I thought I tried that but I guess I was being impatient didn’t wait the full minute when checking executions lol. You’re awesome!

You’re likely using the “Event Created” trigger in n8n, but Google keeps the original created timestamp—even for new invites—so it doesn’t fire.
Quick Fix:
- Change trigger to “Event Updated” in the Google Calendar Trigger node.
- Remove any filters like “Match Term.”
- Ensure polling is frequent (e.g. every minute).
- Check timezone settings are consistent (n8n and your calendar).
This should make new events get picked up correctly. I also automated blog post on my website with the help of n8n
Let me know if it still doesn’t work!
This worked as well, thank you!
