SharePoint List: Get all Repeating Events, not just unique

Posted on by btj_Z71

Hi Community,

I have a SharePoint list with many repeating events (Event List). I am using a scheduled Power Automate flow to get a list of events from the SharePoint list and then send an email to my team as a reminder for what task may be becoming due based on a datetime field.

The problem I am facing is that the flow is only pulling those items which are not repeating, and ignoring those which are repeating, and I am not sure why.

How can I ensure all tasks are pulled, regardless if they are a unique task or repeating task?

Hi @btj_Z71 ,
Do you want to get everything in SharePoint?
How many lines are there in your event list, and are there any other settings when creating events? In my scenario, I have a total of 6 events, including 4 recurring events, and can get the information of all events

Best Regards,
Dezhi

Yep, I want to get everything in SharePoint, but I could also do with just a subset of each event. Each event contains 29 columns, and I only need 10 of those to complete my flow successfully.

There are also around 4,000 events in the list.

I am going to try something similar to what you did after getting the list from SharePoint while I continue to try to figure this out.

Re: SharePoint List: Get all Repeating Events, not just unique

My problem is the opposite...I need to filter out repeating events from my flow. The calendar in question had over the 5000 limit threshold, which I have whittled down, but I want a flow to go through and clean out the oldest events that are not repeating (such as birthdays and holidays). Right now my flow grabs all the oldest items, deletes the oldest 100 of them...but I want to ensure that repeating items do not get deleted. I can't find any dynamic content referring to 'recurring' events. Currently, I'm not limiting my Columns view, so I would think all the columns are available. Any suggestions?
