Create Notebook (Section) with Calendar Event Date

[DuckPuppy]

Hi,

i would like to create a Flow which creates a new Section within a specified Notebook if a new calendar event is created. If i add the triggerBody()?['Start'] function to the section name, it returns an illegal character error for the "Create section in a Notebook" part.

Also, i would like to only add the YYYY-MM-DD part of the which is returned by the function. Is there a way to only read out the first 8 characters of the returned value? For example, the created name of the section should look like this:

[Date of Event(YYYY-MM-DD)] - [Location of Event] - [Subject of Event]

I´m not a skilled programmer / developer, but not stupid either... Any help?

Hi @DuckPuppy ,

If you could do the screen shot of your current flow steps that would be helpul.

Thanks

It sounds like you have most of the pieces already except for the time format stuff?  I'm not a skilled programmer either, so I will often use Convert Time Zone.  Check out the Flow below and let us know what you think:

Note the case on the date format...it matters.  I tested this and it seemed to work, but let us know if you bump into any trouble.   (You'll want to adjust the to/from timezones to meet your needs).  For research, I think there is a FORMATDATE expression that will also do this for you.
