Hi everyone! I'm posting this as a new idea because it seems to me that Flow doesnt have this option. In other similar automation services like Zapier or Automate.io you can set a task to be performed a fixed amount of time before an event starts. In my case, I want a Flow to create a new task on Google Tasks two hours before a Google Calendar event starts; for example, if I have a meeting at 10 p. m., I'd like to have a task created on Google Tasks for that event at 8 p. m. If there is a way to do this with the current options, I'd love to try it. Have a nice day!
