How do I subtract a given time from a datetime when creating an Event in a calendar?

Posted on by Microsoft Employee

I would like to create a flow that will automatically create additional calendar entries before and after I add an event with the category "flight". What I cannot figure out (andI spent quite some time on finding documentation on this) is how to use calculations with datetime. I tried adding "Startime" for the create event to "Starttime - 60min" (referencing the dynamic content from the previous step)  - already expecting that this is not going to work 😉 So where is the documentation to working/manipulating Datetime entries and strings  in Flows?
