Hi @LauraG1

The issue is that in the comparison, you're comparing the body of the HTML to Text (that is, a string that is covered by the body of an element that contains a lot of other elements) with an id (an int value), that's why the comparison will always be false. In the end, you're comparing something like 1 to "[{id:123,.....}]"

You need to change the left parameter with the ID value you get inside the body of the calendar action (the calendar value ID).

Does it make sense?

Cheers
Manuel

HI @LauraG1

Sorry about that, but you're almost there. You changed the left side correctly. Now just Remove the string expression and add the SharePoint "ID" that you had before, and it should work.

Cheers

Hi @LauraG1,

When adding the the item to the SharePoint list did you write the ID as the event ID and not the generated ID? If not, then you might need to change what you compare in your condition, like subject etc.

I hope this helps.
