I'm trying to build a pretty rudimentary Flow, that will create a calendar event on our shared calendar based on user input. A second step will also email their manager with a summary of the request. i don't need to retain any of this data (provided it successfully updates the group calendar) so creating a standalone app to support this flow seemed like overkill?
I tried to create a manually triggered flow, which i got to work perfectly, except for the fact that i can't enter a time value, only a date. this gets me most of the way there, but people request partial days all the time, so it wouldn't work.
I tried to create one that leverages power apps, but the inputs are not working as i hoped. I couldn't figure out how to use a dynamic time zone, and using UTC is going to throw people off. I also can't use the inputs from the power app in the body of the notification email. I was also hoping to be able to use a calendar date picker (instead of keying it) in the power app input, but i can't find any way to modify them.
Not sure if this is just a limitation of the low-code flow creator, or if i'm missing something.
You don't need to have a data source to create a Power app. Just create an app with the controls you need. Then create your flow to take the date/Time entered into the controls on the app and do what you need.
