How to validate existing calendar entry before creating a new one

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 2

Hi,

 

I have ppl booking meetings on my calendar in o365 and in order for me to have a buffer between meetings, I have created this flow to create these buffer meetings before and after the creation of events (named xxx).

The problem is that o365 is considering opening and closing an event for a change (even if nothing happened) + these meetings tend to change quite a lot (time, date, invitees) - and every change triggers the creation of a new buffer meeting.

Which makes me crazy in deleting it every day.

 

I tried to incorporate a get calendar view for the before and after timeslots and to condition the creation of the new event only if a buffer meeting wasn't already there. however, it doesn't seem to work as the foreach doesn't work on the subject as it's a string.

 

Your help would be highly appreciated 💖
