Creating events based on dates in a form

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Hi there

 

I am creating a flow that is triggered by a submittion of a form - when it is submitted it needs to create an event in outlook. I can only seem to create it the same time as the event OR from date of submission to the date of event. 

 

I need it to be 2 days before the "Date of function" field in the form. I am using the Create event v2 

 

Any suggestions?

    Hi @Anonymous 

     

    You can use the add days function to achieve this. 

    Tap into the Start Time field of the action and then click on expression in the dynamic selector tab. Type addDays() and in the bracket, switch to the dynamic content and select the field. after this, add a comma and enter -2. 

     

    Hope this Helps!
