Cant get "When a new event is created" to trigger

HI all,
 
I hope someone will be able to help me on this. I am trying to build a flow that triggers when a shared calendar I am owner of has a new event added via invitation. Here is what I am hoping to achieve.
 
6 meeting rooms, I am owner of all calendars (eventually this will be performed by a licensed bot account)
Some of the meeting rooms overlap so we have the following:
room 1
room 2
room 3
room 1+2
2+3
1+2+3
 
I would like to make flows that check the calendars of each overlapping room when one is booked and only accepts the meeting if all are available, seemingly fairly simple. However when I try to run the flow it will not trigger!
 
I would like to use the trigger "when an event is created"
If i use the trigger "when an event is added, updated or deleted" it triggers but loops because it keeps accepting the invitation and re-triggering the flow as its being updated.
 
No idea why i cant get the "when an event is created" trigger to fire. I have checked the settings and have "split on" enabled. Interestingly when I disable it, it fires but does not produce an event ID and the flow fails due to "Get event" looking for an event ID that "when an event is created" does not output.
 
This is what I currently have:
 
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance :D

    Out of interest, what is the use case/reason you want to automate this?
     
    Isn't it possible to control this with Outlook settings and features like capacity, autoaccept and roomfinder?
     
    Just trying to understand why you want to build this flow.
     
     
    Happy to help out 😁
