Create a calendar event on Outlook 365 Calendar after approval

[AmeZul]

Hi, 

I have a time-off request flow that runs from a list on SharePoint. If approved, then it updates the SP list and creates an event on Calendar. So far, it works. The problem is how the event is shown in Calendar:

1. It doesn't cover the days of the request (2 days in the example)

2. The text it displays makes it look 'untidy'

Your help will be really appreciated.

What are you actually entering for the value of the subject? I recently set up a process to do the same thing with the following settings, which populates the customer name into the subject from a text field in the SharePoint form:

It shows on the calendar as:

It actually pulls the information from the SP list:

Would love to know what functions for Start and End time you used.

I think I see your issue with the subject. You are using a choice field. Make sure you are populating it with the Type of Leave Value instead of Type of Leave. The following are the expressions used for Start and End, which come from Start and End datetime fields in the SharePoint form:

• Start: formatDateTime(triggerOutputs()?['body/Start'],'yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss')
• End: formatDateTime(triggerOutputs()?['body/End'],'yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss')

Amazing! Thank you, David! Now the only pending issue is the duration of the event... that it does indeed cover the number of days the event is going to last.

@AmeZul - if you've configured your Start and End fields correctly, shouldn't the duration of the event be automatically calculated from those values?

Yes, I had to add the time to the SP fields, not only the dates. Thanks!
