best way to access data items returned by Get Events (V4)

Hi community,

 

I am hitting a brick wall with this.  It is going to be something simple - but it has me stumped, so thanks in advance for any help.

Scenario: I want to grab an ID of a calendar event (so I can extend the invite to another colleague) there are multiple events with similar subject like 'Event Stream 1' , 'Event Stream 2' etc.

 

I am using 'Get Events (V4) ' with an odata query to pull out events when the subject contains 'Event Stream ' - this is all working fine.  Sample output data below (I have changed the email addresses manually for this post and emptied the body text)

{
 "value": [
 {
 "subject": "Event Stream 2",
 "start": "2020-09-24T18:30:00.0000000",
 "end": "2020-09-24T18:55:00.0000000",
 "body": "",
 "isHtml": true,
 "responseType": "organizer",
 "responseTime": "0001-01-01T00:00:00+00:00",
 "id": "AAMkADE3MmJjNjczLWUyMjYtNDU3MS04NzE5LWQyYmUzMjMzMmJmZABGAAAAAACO84RtEwf6R6rgX48Ph_uBwCavEk1Z3d8T49R5hImgL0uAAAAB688AAD-6b1lMvLARKh4i7vuKNUkAAJ2rR8lAAA=",
 "createdDateTime": "2020-09-22T19:10:35.2035891+00:00",
 "lastModifiedDateTime": "2020-09-23T03:25:03.9362746+00:00",
 "organizer": "some.email@company.com",

 }
 ]
}

Is this data (above) a JSON encoded array or a string or?

I need to extract the Subject and ID so I can later filter on Subject and retrieve the ID for use later in the Flow.  

I have tried using Parse JSON as next step, but just get stuck getting hold of the data.

 

What is the best method please?

thanks

    Hi @Gareth- ,

     

    I’m afraid I’m not sure what data you need to get. The Dynamic content output by Get events action can be directly quoted. Like:
