create outlook event from email

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 2

hello dear community,

when a standardised e-mail reaches an inbox, an Outlook calendar event is to be created from it. This worked very well so far with power automate.

 

Now to my question: i struggle with the start and end date
The information on how the start and end date of the Outlook calendar event should be set, can be extracted from the email text:  "Start:" DD.MM.YYYY time and "Ende:" DD.MM.YYYY time .
The information on how the entry should be timed is therefore in the email text. See my pictures.

Unfortunately, I don't know what to enter in the Start time and End time fields.

 

Can you help me?

    What you want to do is possible. 

     

    I would look at getting the two time lines from the body of the email, once you have these as seprate items you need to format them to the correct format for a time expression to then populate the fields in the meeting invite.  The following might assist.
