Hi!
With 'Single quote' I am referring to the following character

'

From the screenshot shared, it seems you added a single quote just before and after your date time inputs

Hope this helps

Sorry, but what does single quotes mean? I'm new to this. Really appreciate your help.

@Hani_mohktar
Two suggestions:
1.- Remove the single quotes from the values currently assigned to Start time, End time 'Create event (v4)' inputs, then try again
2.- If the problem persists, please add a 'Compose' action block just before 'Create event (v4)' and assign as its input the same values as you are using for Start time, End time. Reexecute the flow and share 'Compose' outputs in this same thread
Please let us know your progress on this topic
Thanx!
