Creating an event on a Group Calendar

I am creating a flow that will create recurring events on a group calendar. I am trying to use an HTTP request, but I can only GET things from the calendar. Apparently I have read only rights or something because it will not let me POST to the calendar. I need to know what to ask the Administrator at my company to change. Does anyone know the setting that needs to change so that I can create events on a group calendar?

Hi, @Aimthedame, if you have access to the calendar and are a member of the site / team that the calendar belongs to, then you should have the correct rights.

Either way, that would be a question for a SharePoint community or a Microsoft Graph / 365 community, I believe.

If you are still prodding, then there is a chance that you actually do have the authority to edit / add to the calendar. Just format your POST calls a little differently.

Addressing the correct Accept/Content-type headers, with the right ODATA parameters within them, is often an easy fix.

Plus, if you just use no headers, and the SharePoint Send an HTTP request to SharePoint action you should be OK with minimal data entirely! 🙂

Otherwise, you'll want to use the Groups or Outlook connectors along with their HTTP actions and the requisite Graph API calls.

If there are still permissions issues after trying a ton of different header combos (including none) then I hope that you get an answer here ... but you may also wish to hedge your bets with a more appropriate community, as previously mentioned. 🙂

I actually just figured it out. I had https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/groups/calendar id/calendar instead of https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/groups/calendar id/event. Newbie mistake! Now I have to work on my JSON payload. Thanks for the help!

Do you mind sharing how you did this? I have the same problem as this post: https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Building-Flows/Creating-Event-for-Room-Resource-calendar/m-p/2537700/highlight/false#M283623

And I'm wondering if this might be a solution.

Do you just want to see the HTTP request or the whole flow?
