Flow to take a Dynamics task and create an Outlook calendar event

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 6

Quick summary:

Dynamics tasks are my clients preferred "activity" in Dynamics.  While they will sync with Outlook tasks, they will not with calendar.  And the sync that happens is next to useless with the data that is brought into Outlook (Task name and description) Not what record the task is regarding, or any contact info about that regarding. 

 

What I am trying to accomplish in Flow:

 

Trigger - When a record is created in Dynamics (Entity: Tasks)

 

Action - Create an event in Outlook

 

Problem - The record/task could be from any of our sales or admin staff.  Their tasks would need to be in their calendar.  In the Create event action in Flow, how do I identify the calendar id for that task owner so that particular task goes to appropriate calendar.  Create event action requests id, but no way to get id of respective users calendar. 

 

I thought/tried to use O365 Get User Profile based off record owner field from Dynamics, but cannot identify calendar ID from there. 

 

Any asssitance would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi @JeffASnet,

     

    You could only create the task in calendars of the connection account of the "Create event" action.

    There is no any way to create the task in the owner's calendar in microsoft flow currently.

     

    Best regards,

    Alice

    Is there any workaround for this?
