Deleting an item from a SharePoint list and removing an event from a group calendar

I built a flow that adds events to a group calendar when a SharePoint list item is created. As part of that process I saved the calendar id for the event so that it could be retrieved and deleted at a later time. The problem is that if the event is deleted from the list than the calendar id is not available retrieve. Does anyone know how this might be accomplished?

This issue was just a matter of order of operation.

Are you able to share your answer as I am having the same issue. It looks like you resolved it but I am unable to see how you did it.

Many thanks

I should've posted that I figured it out. Just get the IDs first and then delete the item. I must have been having a stressful day!

Hi

Thank you for your response. I have implemented and it does indeed work. I do have one other small question if you don't mind.

You have a condition at the top of your flow. Can I ask what that condition is for? I'm trying to get my condition to determine if the action is a delete or an update. Is that what your flow is doing? If so are you able to share what that condition looks like.

Many thanks

That's exactly what my flow is doing. Because my trigger is "When an item or a file is modified" I added a condition to make sure that it didn't remove the record if anything was modified other than a field I named Delete which has its default set to No. The condition is if Delete is equal to Yes then remove the record otherwise do nothing. I hope that helps!
