I have a SharePoint calendar that contains recurring events throughout the year. I have a Flow that queries this calandar each day to see if there is an event for the day. Currently, Flow will only see the actual start date of the event series, not the individual events on a day to day basis. Similar to an Exchange calendar, it would be nice to have recurring events that provide notification. The SharePoint calendar knows it's a recurring event. Please enable Flow to read these events.

I was able to figure out how to use a shared Email box to send email alerts from FLOW. This way, I am not the sender of all SharePoint alerts 🙂 I am now trying to do the same thing with creating Outlook events. My calendar is filling up with events I am not invited to, but I am the organizer thanks to FLOW... I need to be able to set the organizer at the time FLOW creates the event. According to the FLOW Community support team: "If you want to create a Outlook event from a Shared mailbox, I afraid that there is no way to achieve your needs in Microsoft Flow currently. Creating an Outlook event (using the "Create event (V2)" action) within Microsoft Flow is based on connections. In other words, if user A creates a connection to the "Create event (V2)" action, it will create an event in User A's Outlook calendar, if user B creates a connection to the "Create event (V2)" action, it will create an event in User B's Outlook calendar. There is no way to create a connection to the "Create event (V2)" action based on a Shared email address in Microsoft Flow currently. If you would like this feature to be added in Microsoft Flow, please submit an idea to Flow Ideas Forum:"

I have a situation where the trigger is when an event is created, modified or deleted in a calendar outlook, after the creation the flow has to wait until the time of the event arrives and send a mobile alert to the user. Problem is that the same event can be modified and the time and alert changes, and that triggers a new instance of the flow. What I'd like to have is an action to cancel the previous flow (which is waiting for the time of the event to send the alert).

Currently there is no way to findout who organized an event. By MS Graph, you can see the " organizer "-Field, which should be included. There are more information within the attendees, like type and status, which also may be interesting. Sending a mail to all required attendees will also inform people which did not accept an event. Background: I´d like to change the event location to inform all accepted attendees. The attendees won´t receive an update, if I´m not the organizer. The even would only be updated locally in my calendar. In that case, I´d like to send a seperate email, to all attendees, with the new location information. This Idea comes from a Question in the general topic.
