Delete Outlook Calendar Event when deleting Sharepoint Item

[franky0711]

I have implemented this Flow from User @v-yuazh-msft 

This is working! 😃

Now I want to delete Outlook Event (which I generate with the flow above) - when a Sharepoint Element is deleted.

So I built a second following flow (see my screenshots)

But I can't combine "Outlook ID" column in SP with my "Outlook Event ID" I want to delete....so i recieve this failure...

How can I fix that?

Thank you so much!

Hi

If you neeto delete an email in Outlook, you need to store the email Message Id on your Sharepoint Item (not sure which name will be shown in German) and add it as the input to your "Delete email" action block. Plese note in the example screenshot, I am deleting it without intermediate storage, but I guess you can adapt the concept to your current flow design

Hope this helps

@efialttes Thank you but I want to delete an Outlook Event which I generated with my first flow.

Therefor I write my Outlook Event ID in my Sharepoint List. But I dont know how to make a fitting condition to delete my outlook event when it is deleted in my sharepoint list.

Ooops! Sorry for the misunderstanding...

Let me see if I understood you: the problem you have is that, event though you store the event Id on your Sharepoint item, whenever somebody deletes the event the info is not there anymore, so you cannot delete the event, right?

Thanx!

What I want:

If someone deletes an entry in my Sharepoint list, I also want to delete the corresponding Outlook Event in my calendar. Thes calendar events are generated with the first flow, which is OK.

ATM the following is happend, when someone is deleting an entry in my Sharepoint list:

It deletes my element BEFORE i can check my condition "Outlook ID" (Sharepoint column)  = "Outlook Event ID" IF YES Delete "Outlook ID"

Here is my error.

Hi again!

Understood

AS explained in the following thread, "The problem I see with this scenario unfortunately is that using the "When an Item is Delete" step is VERY limited. The output from that trigger gives you no useful information on the deleted item. And while it DOES provide you the item's ID, using a follow-up 'Get Item' using that ID returns nothing"

The good news are... the thread also discuss a woraround, please let us know if it matches your requirements

Hi @franky0711 ,

As @efialttes  said, when an item is deleted, we could only know limited column for the deleted item.

I suggest that you could use the Title column in your calendar list to save the outlook event’s id:

1.Save the outlook event’s id in the Title column in your calendar list, since when the item in the calendar list is deleted, we could get the Title column value from the "Name" dynamic from the trigger when an item is deleted.

2. You could create another column "outlook event title" in the calender list to save the outlook event’s subject.
