I have a SharePoint calendar that people book themselves onto a course on a specific date at a specific time. I am trying to create a flow that will create an Outlook calendar entry for the user once they have picked their date/time. 

When I use the Create Event (V4) I am not getting the Start Time or End Time in the dynamic content so I cant add the date/time to the flow to create the calendar entry.

I would have expected to see Start Date/Time where my red squiggle is ??

Hi @DeeDor ,

 

I have made a test on my side and don't have the issue that you mentioned.

 

I'm afraid that you just haven't find the Start time and End time dynamic content, please refer to my screenshot below to search for the Start time and End time dynamic content and let me know if you could find them.

In the images below is an example I have used on many occasions for staff at my company. The SharePoint list has a a Start column with a date and time for when the event starts. It also has a Duration column for how many minutes the event will last for. So when a new item is created in the list we use some Compose controls to get the duration, turn it into an integer and get the end time using addMinutes(triggerBody()?['Start'],outputs('ComposeOutput'). You then use a Create event action using the Title and Start date/time from the SharePoint dynamic content and the end time from the output of the Compose control.

Hi there!  Is the field in SharePoint formatted as a date/time?

@RobElliott  Hi Rob, The Sharepoint Calendar has both start date and end date but neither show in the flow dynamic content so I could add the duration field but I still wouldnt have a Start time to add to.

Hi @edgonzales 

 

Yes I belive they are both set to date & Time. I have used a default SharePoint Calendar.

I don't use a SharePoint calendar but just a list and you'll see the Start is a Date & Time column with the time displayed. I suspect your problem is because you are using a SharePoint calendar. Just have a list!

Hi @v-alzhan-msft Alice

 

Are you using a SharePoint calendar or a standard list ? I'll try and recreate the calendar to see if that works. 

Thanks

Hi @RobElliott 

In this instance I need it to be a calendar as it is being used to book courses so they need it to show in a calendar format so people can see what dates/times are available.


Thanks

Dee
