Create Event v4 (Office 365) making duplicate events instead of just one

(2) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

Hi,

 

I made a flow that uses the Create Event V4 action (the Office 365 one rather than just regular Outlook) to create an event when a certain type of email is received. The problem I am having is that duplicate events are created. There isn't a clear a pattern to how many are created. Its sometimes just the one but other times its two, three, or four, but usually two. I am pretty sure this is a glitch with the action rather than a problem with my flow, though I could be wrong. I tried doing it with the Create Event for normal outlook and it worked fine but I need to use the Office 365 version for my purpose. I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem? Also, is there a way to use the old versions of actions? I have a feeling that Create Event V3 will work. Thank you so much for any help!

    Hi @Anonymous 

    Are you creating the event in a Shared Calendar, o a personal calendar?

    Hi Ferran,

    It actually is in a shared calendar.

    Seeing the same issue here with Create Event v4 , a bad request error comes back with the action and then it retries and completes but then there are two events.
