Hi there,
Recently i faced this issue where lets say I update a recurring event and click “for this and following events”, I get two webhook, both are event.updated. One webhook is with the old event ID and in the recurrence I get an “UNTIL=20261016T185959Z”. This is fine as it tells me to invalidate all events scheduled for that master from after UNTIL (i store calendar events 1 month in advance). I also get another webhook for this singular update with a completely new master id and a recurrence which carries the changes to the time.
The issue is that I have no idea of knowing that both webhook are linked, there are a lot of downstream implications of the events which are created 1 month in advance and i cant simply just insert new rows, I rather want to modify the id.
I have attached the json payloads below. One is for the old event followed by the one for the new event:
