Hi @Gurinder_P_SIng ,

The error is due to the Get event action, it seems you have wrong event ID set in Item Id. Could you please share the settings in this action in edit mode? If you only know subjects of the event, you may need to use Get events action and filter query to get the specific event.

Best regards,

Hi @Gurinder_P_SIng ,

It seems you have lost parenthesis of the length function to include the outputs of Get event action.

length(outputs(...))

Hi @Gurinder_P_SIng ,

The flow went into the true branch so false branch was not executed. In the true branch, I don't think the Apply to each 2 is needed, please drag apply to each 4 out of it and then delete it. In the Update event action, do not use dynamic contents from the Excel, you need values like expressions below for input parameters:

items('Apply_to_each_4')?['Start Datetime']

Best regards,

Hi @v-jefferni thanks for the reply,

I believe something is wrong. when doing comparisons in Filter array "Subject" from out look Calendar with "subject" in excel that does not exist that means condition is not satisfied it should be running the false condition instead of running true condition.

it very start the events in excel does not exist in the outlook at very first flow should be just adding the event from excel to outlook and in second run when events moved from excel to outlook then condition is try and then it would be testing the changes in the existing events and then updating the existing events.

so at the very beginning flow should be going into the true loop, correct?

@v-jefferni I mean it should not be running through the true branch as at the begging there is no event is added in outlook , that means this condition is false

and flow should be entering in false branch but its going in true.
