Create event (V4) Date time format

(1) Share

Report

Posted on by alie4hunt

I'm trying to set up that when my approval is granted, SharePoint will receive the latest status update. Additionally, it should create an event in Outlook to let others know that this time slot is already booked. I'm not sure if my parameters are correct (I suspect my date string format might be wrong). Should I be using "update event" instead of "create event"?

Hi @alie4hunt ,

Please try this expression:

convertTimeZone(outputs('Update_item')?['body/Start_Date'],'UTC','Singapore Standard Time','yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss') convertTimeZone(outputs('Update_item')?['body/End_Date'],'UTC','Singapore Standard Time','yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss')

Hi @alie4hunt ,

There is a problem with Start_Date and End_Date field references, please try this expression again:

convertTimeZone(outputs('Update_item')?['body/Start_Date'],'UTC','Singapore Standard Time','yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss')

convertTimeZone(outputs('Update_item')?['body/End_Date'],'UTC','Singapore Standard Time','yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss')

Hi @alie4hunt ，

Please try both expressions again:

convertTimeZone(outputs('Update_item')?['body/EndDate'],'UTC','Singapore Standard Time','yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss')

Hi @v-yetonggu-msft ,
It actually works and is able to update to Outlook, but why does it only create a single column instead of spanning from the start date to the end date?

Hi @alie4hunt ,

Please check that the start and end dates in your create event are the same day.

Hi @v-yetonggu-msft ,
I create 22 for the start date and end dates on 26, in SharePoint and the date print out in the email body shows the correct date, just the booking date are not in the correct one.

Hi @alie4hunt ,

Please check whether the formulas entered for StartDate and EndDate in your create event are respectively:

convertTimeZone(outputs('Update_item')?['body/StartDate'],'UTC','Singapore Standard Time','yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss')

convertTimeZone(outputs('Update_item')?['body/EndDate'],'UTC','Singapore Standard Time','yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss')

I'm guessing you've written the same formula.
