Power Platform Community Forum Thread Details

Hello,

I am a Production Manager at a Digital Media company and I am looking to streamline our scheduling process with our Freelance team.
Recently I was made aware of the tool "Microsoft Shifts" and I figured there must be someway to integrate Shifts and Microsoft Outlook.

I attempted to create a workflow in Power Automate, but I keep receiving an error message when I Save the workflow.

Would you be able to help me troubleshoot this workflow?

I've attached a screenshot of the workflow. Here's the code:

{
"type": "OpenApiConnectionWebhook",
"inputs": {
"parameters": {
"teamId": "11dc3c69-1515-4fad-b291-56651d17500e"
},
"host": {
"apiId": "/providers/Microsoft.PowerApps/apis/shared_shifts",
"connection": "shared_shifts",
"operationId": "TriggerForShifts"
}
},
"splitOn": "@triggerOutputs()?['body/value']"

{
"type": "OpenApiConnection",
"inputs": {
"parameters": {
"teamId": "@triggerOutputs()?['body/resourceData/teamId']",
"shiftId": "@triggerOutputs()?['body/resourceData/id']"
},
"host": {
"apiId": "/providers/Microsoft.PowerApps/apis/shared_shifts",
"connection": "shared_shifts",
"operationId": "GetShift"
}
},
"runAfter": {}
}
{
"type": "If",
"expression": {
"equals": [
"@triggerOutputs()?['body/changeType']",
"create"
]
},
"actions": {},
"else": {
"actions": {}
},
"runAfter": {
"Get_a_Shift": [
"Succeeded"
]
}
}
{
"type": "OpenApiConnection",
"inputs": {
"parameters": {
"table": "Calendar",
"item/subject": "@outputs('Get_a_Shift')?['body/draftShift/displayName']",
"item/start": "@outputs('Get_a_Shift')?['body/draftShift/startDateTime']",
"item/end": "@outputs('Get_a_Shift')?['body/draftShift/endDateTime']",
"item/timeZone": "Eastern Standard Time",
"item/isReminderOn": true,
"item/showAs": "busy"
},
"host": {
"apiId": "/providers/Microsoft.PowerApps/apis/shared_office365",
"connection": "shared_office365",
"operationId": "V4CalendarPostItem"
}
},
"runAfter": {
"Condition": [
"Succeeded"
]
}
}

And here is the error message:
