Schedule event for the whole day in Google Calendar automation
Elen Salesflow
Currently, to create events in Google Calendar via automations, you have to set start and end time. However, there could be events that would take the whole day. In our case, it's a release date that we want to automatically notify our users about. If you set start and end time for the whole day, it looks ugly and messes up with peoples' calendars (see screenshot). It would be nice to have the ability to schedule events for the whole day. In this case, these events will be displayed on top of the day within the calendar.

Hiya Elen Salesflow, thanks for this post! I have a few more questions for you:
- Could you provide more details on how you envision the 'whole day' event feature to function?
- Are there any specific details or information you would like to be included in these 'whole day' events?
- Would you like this feature to be optional or applied to all events scheduled through the automation?

Jon Darbyshire thanks for reaching out!
- My vision is the following:
- When "creating an event" action being added/edited, add the 'Whole Day' toggle next to the "Start/End Date" field
- Once active, start/end date become inactive
- Other fields can be still added (same as now)
- No, currently available details would be enough for me
- Applied to all events under a particular automation.
Will explain my usage scenario just in case:
- We have sprints and would like our users to know when we're going to release a new version. So once a record in Sprints is added with a release date filled out we would like to create 'whole day' event in a particular calendar that is shared with our users.
- If we reschedule the release, we would like to reschedule the event in the calendar as well so people know that the release will happen at other day.
