Hey everyone,

I'm trying to create what I thought would be a straightforward flow, or series of flows.

Here is what I am trying to accomplish:

Employees fill out Microsoft form to request time off, when approved by a supervisor the calendar event gets added to the staff calendar so that all supervisors can keep track of everyone's time off.

Here is what I have tried:

1. When form is completed - event is created on SharePoint list with form criteria (Start Date, End Date, Requester)

2. When event is created on SharePoint list, an approval is initiated and sent to the supervisor.

3. When the approval is completed, the status on the SharePoint list updates from 'Pending' to 'Approved' or 'Rejected' and the requester is emailed with the outcome.

Here is where I am stuck:

Trying to get this list information over to a calendar somehow... I don't really want to resort to using the 'Calendar View' option in SharePoint Lists because it really isn't as good as an actual calendar. I know that it isn't as simple as adding an overlay to my SharePoint calendar to be able to add my list, but there has to be some way to get this information over, right? I'm willing to create a few more flows to make it happen, I'm just not sure where to go next.

Should I try routing it over to an Outlook calendar then syncing that with SharePoint? Is there a Teams calendar feature I can take advantage of here?

Thanks for your help.
