OOO dilemma

I had a great idea for a flow - any employee could run in, enter in their starting/ending PTO dates, and Power Automate would not only block off time on their calendar, but also update their Automatic Replies. 
 
The flow works GREAT - for me. But no one else can run it, even if I add them as a run-only user. 
 
So then I tried doing this through Power Apps, to call a flow. Still doesn't work. 
 
So is ChatGPT sending me on a wild goose chase? I suspect what I'm trying to do isn't possible That each user would have to build one of these themselves if they wanted their own calendar to update.

    Hi there! 
     
    Chatgpt is correct, you can't do this from a single flow for every user bc the actions are tied to the accts connection string for given actions. 
     
    But great idea! Here's how to move forward and get this up and running in 30 minutes...
     
    Write a prompt for Copilot cowork that does exactly what you are doing, then just share the prompt with the team. Done.
     
    Pro tip: you can even ask Copilot or chatgpt to write the prompt for cowork for you.

    Export your flow and let your coworkers import it.
