Create a flow that adds calendar events from Outlook calendar to group calendar on Sharepoint

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 20
I am trying to create a flow that, when an event is added to a calendar on Outlook, it takes this event and adds it to the calendar in Sharepoint. 
For some reason, I am experiencing trouble and it keeps coming up with this: 
(If it is not clear, it says: Flow save failed with code 'OpenApiOperationParameterValidationFailed' and message 'Input parameter 'item' validation failed in workflow operation 'Add_to_Sharepoint_Calendar': The parameter with value '"@triggerOutputs()?['body/start']"' in path 'item/EventDate' with type/format 'String/date-no-tz' is not convertible to type/format 'String/date-time'.'. )
 
 
I am not sure what this means so I am not sure what to do..... this is what my flow looks like: 
This is what it looks like in the "Add to Sharepoint Calendar" which is actually a "Create Item" action
(The "Get event from Calendar" action is actually a "When a new event is created (V3)" under Office 365 Outlook. 
 
I tested that the calendar was correct and worked with a different action (ie, adding to the calendar when the form is submitted), so the calendar is not wrong. 
 
I am not sure what to do....? 
Feel free to email me if you have questions as I cannot seem to reply on the Power Platform discussions which is annoying. Otherwise, if asked a question, I will update my "Description" to answer the questions in replies. 
 
Thanks!

    You can use a formatdatetime function for this.

    Try the below expression in your Start Time field 
    formatDateTime(triggerOutputs()?['body/start'], 'yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss')
     
    And the below in the End Time
    formatDateTime(triggerOutputs()?['body/end'], 'yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss')
