Using the Create Event (V4) action, you have to click Show Advanced Options to see the area to add attendees:

If you're using a different action to create an event, please post a screenshot so we know exactly which action you're using.

If this resolved your issue, please mark it as the answer.

@SP-21071550-0 Hi,

When you want to specify the attendees for creating group event, you can combine :

1. List groups.

2. List group members, Select the members for attendees, it can be customized with extra condition

3. Send an HTTP request V2.

See below as your reference:

Body:

{ "subject": "Weekly follow‑up", "body": { "contentType": "HTML", "content": "Weekly Meeting Call." }, "start": { "dateTime": "2025-07-23T09:00:00", "timeZone": "W. Europe Standard Time" }, "end": { "dateTime": "2025-07-23T10:00:00", "timeZone": "W. Europe Standard Time" }, "location": { "displayName": "Teams meeting" }, "attendees":@{body('Select')}, //from selection of list group members. "allowNewTimeProposals": true, "isOnlineMeeting": true, "onlineMeetingProvider": "teamsForBusiness" }

Hi,

Solution 1: Use "Create Event (V4)" Instead

The regular "Create Event (V4)" action (not the group-specific one) can create events in group calendars and supports attendees:

Use "Create Event (V4)" action

Calendar id: Use the group's calendar ID (format: group-calendar-id@yourdomain.com)

Subject: Your event title

Start time: Event start

End time: Event end

Required attendees: Add email addresses here

Optional attendees: Add optional attendees

Body: Event description

To get the group calendar ID:

Use "List calendars" action first

Filter for the group calendar

Use its ID in the create event action

Solution 2: Create Event Then Add Attendees

Create the group event using "Create Group Event V2"

Update the event with attendees using "Update Event (V4)":

Calendar id: Same group calendar

Event id: ID from the created event

Required attendees: Add your attendees

Optional attendees: Add optional attendees

Solution 3: Use Microsoft Graph API (HTTP Action)

For full control, use the Graph API directly:

HTTP Action

Method: POST

URI: https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/groups/{group-id}/calendar/events

Headers:

Content-Type: application/json

Body:

json

{ "subject": "@{variables('EventTitle')}", "start": { "dateTime": "@{variables('StartTime')}", "timeZone": "UTC" }, "end": { "dateTime": "@{variables('EndTime')}", "timeZone": "UTC" }, "attendees": [ { "emailAddress": { "address": "user1@domain.com", "name": "User One" }, "type": "required" }, { "emailAddress": { "address": "user2@domain.com", "name": "User Two" }, "type": "optional" } ] }

Solution 4: Create Personal Event and Invite Group

Alternative approach:

Create event in your personal calendar using "Create Event (V4)"

Add the group email as an attendee

Add individual attendees as needed

Solution 5: Use "Send an Email" After Event Creation

If you just need to notify people:

Create the group event (without attendees)

Send email invitation using "Send an email (V2)":

Include event details

Include calendar invitation (.ics file) as attachment

Send to all intended attendees
