[MarkFischer]

The "When an upcoming event is starting soon" trigger does not work for recurring events after the first occurance.

Multiple people have identified this problem:

Unfortunately a large percentage of my meetings are long standing recurring events that are not triggered by this event.

Hi @ MarkFischer,

The issue is confirmed on my side,  the "When an upcoming event is starting soon" trigger does not work for recurring events after the first occurance.

I would post this issue to my product team, if the issue is solved, I will reply here.

Has this issue been resolved or is there a workaround?

Hi.

Any news here?

Here is the workaround i am using until this gets resolved.  In office 365 calendar on the recurring event I have chosen "send email reminder".  I then configured a flow using "when a new email arrives" as the trigger.  Just creates uneeded extra steps for the flow, but it has been working for me if/until the real issue gets resolved.  Hope this helps you.
