Many-to-one Sync with Outlook

Hello everyone,
 
I want to create an automated cloud flow in Power Automate that synchronizes events from a calendar to an "overview calendar".
I followed this template and added a few things myself. https://sidequests.blog/2021/01/10/copy-outlook-calendar-events-with-logic-apps-or-power-automate/ 
Now I have the problem that the event I create in the main calendar is indeed created in the overview calendar (including the correct category), but it is not changed or deleted when I edit it in the main calendar. 
Sometimes, when I update, an extra appointment is written in the overview calendar, but that one isn't deleted either.
I don't see the problem within my flow and I've already done so much research, but I'm still not getting anywhere.
Maybe someone can help. Fyi: This post is very specific.

I started with the trigger "when an event is created, updated, or deleted (V3)". There, I specified my main calendar, in which I create the events, in the calendar id and connected it with my main outlook calendar.

I followed the exact steps in the template.
That´s my Case 1 "added". I put my overview calendar in the calendar id and connected it with my main. I already changed the connections multiple times to see if there´s the problem, but it never changed anything.
 
Case 2 is a little more complicated and somewhere there lies the problem.
 
 
In "Get events" I put my overview account and in filter query I put contains(Subject, '@{triggerBody()?['subject']}')
 
 
Condition 1:
 
 
 
In "Delete event" I put my overview calendar, same connection as everywhere else and the Id from Case 1.
In "Create Event" I put everything the same as in Case 1 minus the Id.
In Set Variable I put UpdatedEventExists, Value: true
 
That´s the second Condition:
 
 
 
 Create event is completely the same as in Case 1.
 
Now for Case 3 "deleted":
Body and Id are the same as in Case 2.
 
Now if I run the Flow, it tells me that the flow has succeeded when it clearly hasn´t.
This is the run history for case 3. Since the condition always results in "false", it makes sense that my entry is not deleted.
 
 
 
And this is the run history for case 2.
 
We've included condition 2 for this case. However, the following happens with the flow:
 
 
 
What do I have to change in my flow, so that the events can be changed and deleted successfully?
 
Thank you and best regards.

    your filter is the issues because if the event you are looking for is not in top 256 it will not work.
     
     
    Updated case your condition is not matching or giving true
     
    to fix the scenario using single condition body contains the ID and make sure when your are creating event you are adding id in the event body
