'Send a copy' generalization

I have a flow for 365 calendar to Google calendar which works for me. If I want to "Send a copy" of the flow to another user to use it for themselves, it starts out well enough when they click the link:

iml0OMI

Once they take care of that, which I assumed would be all that would be needed, it fails for reasons alluded to here:

In this case, it's the two calendar ids.

For the first one (Office 365's, a very long string), I found that swapping this in instead of the id worked:

But it's the Google one that I can't find a variable for:

cpQN910

Of course, I could have some dummy value there and have the user edit it with their Gmail id, but that's a last resort. I've tried calendarId and calendar_id, as they're mentioned here, but they're not valid.

Hi @rseiler ,

If you share Flow to other users via Send a copy, and users have used their own account to update connection, then they need to edit some parameters of Flow again.

For example, Calendar id, they need to delete the Calendar id configured in Flow before, and then select the Calendar existing in their account from the drop-down list.

Hope this makes sense.

Best Regards,

That's going to be difficult for some, particularly as there is no drop-down for Calendar ID ((I was wrong above about "calendar" magically working).
Is there any other way of doing it then, maybe export instead of send a copy? Or adding get profile action?
