Assigning Categories to shared Calendar items

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 23

Hi All, 

 

I'm not sure if this is a flow question / issue or a configuration questions to please excuse my ignorance (and hopefully point me in the right direction).  I have a flow that creates a calendar event, in a shared calendar / mailbox, and assigns recipients, which results in calendar invites being sent out.

 

I want to assign a category to the calendar events so that visually, they are distinguishable.  I have created a number of categories, in the shared mailbox/calendar, and have assigned them to the calendar event via two possible mechanisms, either a) through the Create Event (V4) / Update Event (V4) category array, or b) via a Send HTTP Request (as per https://www.cloudappie.nl/lowcode-categorize-meetings-outlook/).

 

Both methods work, and the calendar item is shown, in the Share Calendar, with the correct Category and colour.  However, this is not cascaded down to individual users.  When the calendar invite is sent out, it contains the correct category but when it is accepted, it seems to lose the category and thus the colour.

 

I've tried to create the same categories in my mailbox (although this is not a scalable solution) and it makes no difference.

 

Can anyone help, please.....

 

Cheers, Mike
