I have a pipeline that successfully adds or updates a Google calendar event when the event is added or changed in a QuickBase table.  Does anyone know what format Google Calendar is looking for in the Time Zone field (see attached)

Google wants the IANA time zone name, not an abbreviation or an offset. So America/New_York, America/Chicago, America/Denver or America/Los_Angeles, rather than EST or -05:00.

If all your events are in one zone, just type it into the Time Zone field in the step.

If people are in different zones, add a text field (or a multiple choice with those values) to the table, then map that field into Time Zone. That way each event lands in the right zone.
