Adding 'None' when updating a calendar event

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 471

People in my team are always sending me 'all day' meeting invites for when they are out of office, and most of the time they forget to turn off the reminder. The default is 15 minutes, which means my phone buzzes at quarter to midnight, and it's really annoying!

 

So I want a Flow to intercept incoming calendar entries, check if it's an all-day event, and then use the 'Update Event V2' action to set the reminder to 'None'.

 

The problem is that the Reminder field is numeric. If I don't set anything in the update action then it doesn't alter anything. If I set it to null it doesn't work. If I set it to 0 (zero) it just sets the reminder to 0 minutes. I even tried -1, which also sets it to 0.

 

I know from another flow I made that a calendar entry with the reminder showing as 'None' in Outlook is simply blank, because I can set a condition to detect 'null' and this works. I just can't set null with the update action.

 

Am I missing something, or is this not currently possible?

 

Thanks.

    Hi davidstone,

    Do you want to update an event without Reminder?

    An integer value is asked in the Reminder field. So when you enter a None-Integer value in this field, the value would be invalid.

    It seems that we are currently not able to configure Reminder as “none-reminder” using flow.

    I have seen a similar request on Flow Ideas Forum, please vote the idea at here:
