Timezone issue with bookings, outlook and teams

Posted on by Porfavor

Hello,

I read several topics (there are many about similar issues) and found some hints but couldn't solve my issue. Maybe it's a logical fault I am making, regarding the time zone conversion.

What I do with my flow is triggering by a new created booking event, then getting the corresponding outlook calendar entry and from this create a teams meeting. In general, this works. Unfortunately the teems meeting is two hours prior to the calendar entry, while the calendar entry is correct.

I tried converting the times / time zones but this didn't change anything. Maybe I have to do the conversion the other way around. I am not really sure what happens in the background.

What am I doing wrong here?

Hi @Porfavor ,

I don't understand. You are creating Teams meeting and time zone set to Central Euripean time which is UTC+2, so the meeting time is 2 hours prior to UTC, what's the matter?

No, the teams meeting is 2 hours before the bookings and outlook meeting. Outlook and bookings is, correctly, 8 pm CET, but teams is 6 pm CET. (at least displayed as 6 in the calendar).

If this is not going to work and bookings is also not going to allow me to create a teams meeting only based on a specific user choice, is it worth a lot less to me.

I think, it is not that difficult but I am slow on the uptake.

Hi @Porfavor ,

I mean, why not just use the UTC time zone to create meetings?

I think, this did not change anything. I just wanted to test it, setting up a new flow via copy but notw even the trigger doesn't work anymore! Weird.

I rechecked this. It doesn't make a difference whether I enter UTC or CET. Teams meetings is always two hours before the outlook/bookings event, in 12h-format.

I got it now. I had to use the Converted Time Zone value which did not appear to choose before as there must have been something wrong with the branches.

Hi @Porfavor

Please consider posting a screenshot of your flow and accepting it as the solution, help other users understand it more clearly.
