Use Zaps to Create Google Calendar Recurring Events

If you manage your schedule with Google Calendar, you may take advantage of its built-in reminder features and its ability to make events recurring for a certain amount of time. Zapier's Google Calendar integration was recently updated, so you can now use those Google Calendar features via Zapier.

When you set up a Zap with a "Create Detailed Google Calendar Event" Action, you can now tell Zapier if that event should be recurring by filling out these fields:

You also can tell the Zap to remind you about the event:
