Start a flow once the event is ending

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by
I want to initiate a flow when an event is ending. However, with the current setup using the trigger 'When an upcoming event is starting soon (V3)', the flow fails to trigger if the event is created after the flow has already started. This results in an error, as the trigger doesn’t recognize newly created events.

    That trigger will start the flow at a specific number of minutes before the event starts, not when it is ending.  There is no trigger for when an event is ending.  But if you trigger the flow on the event starting time and add a delay for the amount of time the event is scheduled to take then you get the equivalent of firing the flow when the event is ending.  There is no way for the flow to be running when the event is created.  For example, the following would trigger a flow instance for each upcoming event. Each instance would then wait until the End Time of the Event and then run the Rest of the flow.  Please note this would trigger for every event in the calendar so you should also have something as a trigger condition or a condition action after the trigger to make sure its the event you want the flow to run for.
     
    It would help if you provided some screenshots of the start of your flow.
