Create Outlook Event certain amount of time before Date handed by Form

Posted on by MovilitasIT

So we have a New Hire Form that is filled out and then kicks off a series of events depending on selections made in the Form. I know how to create a Calendar event on the Start Date (which is simply a Date field in a Microsoft Form).

The goal here is to create a calendar event 3 weeks prior to the Start Date handed to us by the Form. I haven't found any posts referencing something similar, so if anyone has any ideas as to how to modify the event start time by subtracting time, let me know!

@MovilitasIT

Please verify that you selected the correct field from your Form in Dynamic properties and the the filed is a date field.

If so, add a Compose action immediately before the existing compose action and set it to the date field. Then, run your Flow. Post a screen shot of the output of the Compose action that you just added.

Hi Scott,

Thanks so much for your solution, I think this is down the right path. I just wanted to check-in as I'm getting a (I believe) syntax related error. I'm a newbie when it comes to Flow queries, so can you verify the syntax I'm using is correct?:
