So I have a gallery that gets date and another column with time.

The idea is when they select that row and click the button, they get a call with the action in the calendar.

Is it possible? Like some kind of booking action.

Maybe I could add the hour in the date column too and not in column text.

Hi @Charlie Martharper,

Yes, it is possible to create a booking-like action in Power Apps where a user selects a row in a Gallery that has separate date and time columns, and then clicks a button to create a calendar event or initiate a call based on that date and time.

One trick we will do is combine date and time into a single datetime value in Power Apps: Since the date and time are in separate columns, we can combine them into a single DateTime value in Power Apps using the DateAdd function. For example:

DateAdd( ThisItem.DateColumn, Hour(ThisItem.TimeColumn), Hours )

Trigger a Calendar Event or Call: To create a calendar event, we can use Power Automate (Flow) triggered from Power Apps, passing the combined DateTime and other details to create an event in Outlook or another calendar system. Here is a sampel we can follow.

Finally, Button OnSelect: On the button’s OnSelect property, we can combine the date and time as above. Call a Power Automate flow to create the calendar event or initiate the booking.

I am sure some clues I tried to give. If these clues help to resolve the issue brought you by here, please don't forget to check the box Does this answer your question? At the same time, I am pretty sure you have liked the response!

Thanks so much for your reply!

I have been trying to follow each steps. The thing is I have created a column date + time to solve the 2 column issue.

So the thing now is when someone clicks on it, it should send me a calendar event + the one who clicks. Each event should last 45 min since we only have the starting date.

How could we change the flow from that sample. Could you help?

So the user would get the event from 3pm to 3:45.

Hello @Charlie Martharper,

Yes, this is possible.

You can follow below steps:

#1. Create an automation with Power Apps trigger
#2. Add 2 trigger parameters: Start Date and End Date
#3. Then add the Create Calendar Event action

#4. In Power Apps, connect the flow to the button in the gallery and pass Start Date and End Date from the selected row.

//Add your Power Automate Trigger. Which will be something like below: CreateBooking.Run(ThisItem.YouStartDateColumnName,DateAdd(ThisItem.YouStartDateColumnName,45,TimeUnit.Minutes) //CreateBooking - Replace with your automate name

#5. Generate End Date based on Start Date + duration (e.g., +45 minutes) inside Power Apps or in the flow.
