In this video we are going to round off our working with dates and events in SharePoint. In previous videos we have looked at how to get the recurrence information, and also how to use XPath. We are now going to take these skills and employ it with our SharePoint event, breaking apart the XML to identify the key information, to look at how we can handle a recurrent event.
The specific scenario we will look at here is notifying someone for a monthly event, but you could extend this logic to take into account weekly and yearly recurrence.

Thanks Matt,
This was very informative and answered my question. I wish there was an easier way. I was hoping to set up a quick SharePoint calendar and run a Power Automate FLOW every day to send us emails, create tickets for re-occurring events/tasks/reminders, but the workflow that needs to be created is a bit complex. Logic for every X months, third day of the month, etc. is possible, but will be time consuming. I'll have to think about other easier options.
