How to get a date from a reply to an email you sent?

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by

So I'm trying to set up a calendar event to schedule a meeting. That works and I can send invites to people but my issue now is trying to set it up so the people I sent the email to get to decide on the time to start for the calendar event. My idea was to send them an email inquiring as to what time they'd like the meeting to start and then storing the date they picked into a variable and then using that as the start date for the calendar event? Is that possible in Flow?

    Hi there!  Have you seen FindTime already?  It seems like it will do most of what you're looking for, in this step.

    Hi @Indra ,

     

    The approach provided by @edgonzales seems to fit your needs very well. Please take a try.

    The method I can provide based on Flow connector is to use MS Forms to create a form and then send it to attendees to let them choose the time to participate in the event.

    Then determine the Start time of the event based on the feedback from attendees.

     

    Best Regards,
