Error with a flow / Sharepoint to Calendar

[zszalbot]

Hello,

I am building a flow which is supposed to add a new element from the Sharepoint list to my calendar in Office 365. In other words, as soon as someone adds a new entry to the Sharepoint list, I would like it to be added to my calendar.

I am receiving the following error message in Polish and I cannot make any sense of it:

Nie można przetworzyć wyrażeń języka szablonu dla akcji „Condition” w wierszu „0” i kolumnie „0”: „Funkcja języka szablonu „contains” oczekuje, że jej pierwszy argument „collection” będzie słownikiem (obiektem), tablicą lub ciągiem, a podana jest wartość typu „Null”.”.

The rough English translation:
Unable to parse template language expressions for action 'Condition' in line '0' and column '0': 'The template language function' contains' expects its first argument 'collection' to be a dictionary (object), array, or string, and the given is a value of type "Null". "

Any help will be greatly appreciated! Thank you very much in advance!

Hi @zszalbot,

The error suggests that you are trying find some value with a contains in a field which is empty. A workaround could be to check if it is empty before you use the contains.

Can you share a screenshot of your setup. This way we can adapt an example to your setup.

Thank you!

I am pasting my basic flow. Many thanks in advance for any ideas you might have!

Hi @zszalbot,

Your screenshot looks a bit strange. Did you blur/hide the criteria from the condition action?

I was expecting a criteria in that screenshot 😅 Normally a condition action should have at least one criteria like below.

I am so sorry!

Hi @zszalbot,

Can you explain what you are trying to check in your condition? When do you want the calendar event to be created? (in the If Yes section)

[zszalbot]

Sorry, if it is not clear. As soon as an event (a new record) is registered in the Microsoft List, I would like it to be added to my calendar. I am not sure how to create this condition. I have never done it before. Thank you for your patience with me! 🙂

Hi @zszalbot,

In that case I think you probably don't need the condition. Normally a condition is used to check if something is true (and only in that situation create a new event).

If you want all events to create something in your calendar and e-mail a setup like below could be sufficient.

Thanks a million for your help! 🙂
