Retrieve a Parent Event or Master Event from Child Events

Fecha de publicación: Mar 5, 2026
Descripción

When you create an event with invitees, two events are created in the backend.
This can be verified by Querying for Event records as below. This will retrieve two records for the same event with the same Subject , one with IsChild=True and the other would have IsChild would have false . 

Select Id, subject, isChild, WhatId, WhoId From Event

But if you'd like to retrieve the parent Event from a given Child Event, unfortunately, there is no easy way. However ,It is possible to create a report with the condition “IsChild” set to “False” that provides a list of parent records.

Solución

One Workaround would be :

Given an Event ID, to find it's parent, look for an event that has -
a. The same WhatId
b. The same subject
c. IsChild = false


The only Issue in this approach is that if you have two events with exactly the same subject, under the same activity, the query will return two parent events.
