Google Add Calendar Event start time always at 02:00 hour

I’m using a workflow that triggers ADD GOOGLE CALENDAR EVENT in a Google Agenda, when a new booking is created. I want it to create an ALL DAY Google Calendar event, but for some reason it always takes 02:00 as the start time of the event in Google Calendar, eventhough I’m not using any TIME indication (only a date) in the date field that the workflow uses to create the Google Calendar item.

How can I make the workflow to create an ALL DAY even in Google Calendar?

thx!

Under the hood, if I’ve understood things correctly, there is no such thing as only a date or only time. There are timestamps and a timestamp is a date and time in one object.

And there are tons of difficulties related to timestamps (a date-time) because first these are displayed differently depending on region, device, etc. and second at a given timestamp (like “now”) the timestamp is are actually different based on where you are on the planet (time zones).

I think that sums up the difficulty and might help your understanding, though it might not help solve your issue.

Do you happen to be 2 hours off GMT?

If so, perhaps you could adjust for this 2-hour time difference by using a math column.

I would try adjusting the time different to GMT/UTC like Nathanael said, then set the duration to 1440 minutes.
