Using a Microsoft Form to create an Outlook Calendar event

Posted on by AlanW

Hello,

I am trying to take a submission from Microsoft Forms and turn it into a calendar event in outlook. Unfortunately Forms does not have a way to select the time needed for the valid Datetime. Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,

Alan

What you are asking for seems to be an old requirement, according to the long list of comments in https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/Microsoft-Forms/Forms-Time-input-question/td-p/14402

This topic was briefly discussed in Flow forum last year, not sure if the suggestions proposed there match your requirements

Hope this helps

Thread revival! I am also looking into this. My current idea is to use Compose to parse out the date/time from the answers from a Form and translate them into a valid input for a "Create an Event (V4)". I'll try and follow-up with what I find.

No dice, I've kind of given up on the idea and I approached my own problem with an employee culture fix. Without a way in Forms to enforce a standardized time format, I hit a wall.
