    Hello @abm ,


    I am not able to upload the screeshots but used the below template in Flow. The requirement is once the MS forms are filled by the employees it should trigger an email from resource mailbox , which in return should create a calendar event in outlook of all employees and they should have an option to reject or accept the event in calendar. Help me to achieve this requirement.

    Hi @pre 

     

    You mentioned create a calendar event in outlook of all employees and they should have an option to reject or accept the event in calendar.  

     

    The "Invite people into event" action is not supported in Office 365 outlook connector of Microsoft Flow currently, if you would like this feature to be added in Microsoft Flow, please submit an idea to Flow Ideas Forum:

    Please see below post which describes an alternative method.
