Approvals Form Creates Calendar Event When Approved

[sarahjadec]

Hi everyone,

First time poster here!

I really want to utilise Approvals in Teams for the two teams I manage as a leave approval.  

Once approved, I would love for a calendar event to be added to my calendar so I can keep track of everyone's where abouts.  I have gotten close but no luck with achieving this. Has anyone done anything similar?

Further, the template in Approvals I've created is within a Team so not sitting in my Form templates.  I have found that its not in the list when using Power Automate so I assume I will need to find the path and use this?

Thanks heaps in advance, I hope I have been clear enough!

Possibly.. what is the trigger and I'll give it a go 🙂

[StretchFredrik]

The trigger is what ever you want, when do you want it to trigger? 😃

I just used a button to trigger it.

I just did when a response is submitted.

I want the calendar subject to be the requester's name and the data of a specific field as the start date. Is that possible?

[StretchFredrik]

If the requester is the one who filled in the response from your trigger you probably can.

Also you can have the approval start date as starttime in your Outlook step.

I am following this thread as I have a very similar request. I have a Leave request form setup, and when I approve a leave request I wanted Power Automate to see that and create a calendar event so that we can see when employees are off in the calendar.
