Google-calendar – quickAdd events in X days from now

google-calendarif-this-then-that

IFTTT recipe: if I send an email to the IFTTT trigger address tagged #m, quickAdd event to Google Calendar.

Since it would be a cycle reminder, I want to add an event in 28 days. quickAdd does not accept add events from the day sent until 28 days later.

I tried in 28 days, 28 days from today, 4 weeks, 4 weeks from now but in every case either the from or in is input as text.

Can I fix this?

The Google Calendar channel on IFTTT uses Google's "Quick Add" feature, which you can also play with directly in the web app (top-left corner).

This help page (under "Create an event using quick add") gives some tips and says that "today", "tomorrow", or a "day or week" will work - but it makes no mention of "next month", "in X weeks" or "in X days". In my testing, I also couldn't find one that works.
