Trigger spawns deleted event instead of created

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 4

We are using trigger:

 

When an event is added, updated or deleted (V3)

 

We have observed with multiple users that when an event arrives to their Calendar, the event shows up as type=deleted and not type=created.  I can take the Id out of the body and use it in a Get Event and see that the Id is in fact attached to a live Calendar event, the event is not cancelled.

 

The other odd things is deleted-type events randomly being triggered.  For example, I observed a deletion event at 4:50am in the morning and I was able to use the Id with Get Event to see an active Calendar event.

 

The Flow runs under My Flows, they do not run as shared.

 

The Calendar selected in the default Calendar, it is the user's own Calendar and not someone else's shared calendar.

 

The trigger is configured to look back 1 day and ahead 22 days.

 

Thanks.

    Hello,

     

    I'm not familiar with how you see a Deleted Event Type versus a Created Event Type, please explain how you are doing this.

     

    Also, would you please send some screenshots on how your setup your flow along with steps on how to reproduce the issue as I would like to test it in my environment.

    I'm not sure how to recreate it, sometimes it happens, sometimes not.

     

    When you delete a Calendar event it should result in an "ActionType": "deleted".

     

    The output below occurred when an event was added to a calendar.The only metadata you get about the deleted event is the Id:

    I can take that id value from an "ActionType": "deleted" output and use it in a Get event (V3) action and it locates a non-deleted event on the calendar:

    When you add an event to your calendar, the trigger output should look like this:

    Any luck recreating the behavior?

     

    Thanks.
