Google Calendar tool not working proprerly
Hello all, I am creating a voice bot that can set up appointments to a google calendar, however, my voice bot is 1. Not booking any appointments on the google calendar and 2. Does not know the current day. Can someone help me with this please?

To ensure your voice bot can book appointments and knows the current day, make sure your Google Calendar tool's description or prompt includes the
{{now}} variable to provide the current date/time. For example:
This helps the assistant access the current date and improves event creation accuracy. Double-check that your Google Calendar account is connected in the Vapi Dashboard and all required fields are set in ISO 8601 format for event times.

use the {{now}} variable in your prompt
It gives the bot the current date and time
