How to create Apoinments from Canvas App to be synchronized with Outlook - the Organizer column

(0) ShareShare

Hi guys,
I´m rather confused and the official docs did not help much so I´m asking here...

I have a canvas app with a form for Appointments planning related to an Order. - for sales representatives when on road
The problem is that in Canvas app - I cannot add the Organizer field (PartyList data type) and therefore the appointment is not synchronized in Outlook.
I cannot see the field in Dataverse/Appointment table in power apps studio and the canvas app does not see it as well.

BUT I can see it in the old classic settings and can add it on a form in Dynamics 365 Sales/Appointments form...

My question: Is there a way how to fill the Organizer field from Canvas app????
Thanks a lot
Hancha

    Hi @Hancha ,

     

    Looks like you will need to create custom connector using Web API:

    I disagree with the above 'Solution'. I've tested the functionality out by creating an appointment record from a canvas app. The record is created however the Outlook integration doesn't pickup the record (Server Side Syncronisation).

    I have then tried creating the record manually without attendees and it appears the owner still recieves an appointment, this is through a Model Driven Power App.

     

    After this, I looked at all fields on both records and there's no difference. This makes me think there's a hidden settitng (somewhere) which we cannot see through the table, however MS taps into it with the Outlook integration.

     

    Right now, it feels like it's not possible. But MS, if you have an answer, I'd love to know.


    @Hancha the quick and dirty way I've found is create a seperate field on the appointment, then use a flow to populate the attendee field. Seems to work, but less than ideal if the Outlook integration doesn't then pick it up.
