Get response details from an Outlook Event

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 3
Hello! 

I am working with a PowerAutomate flow which is triggered by When an upcoming event is starting soon (V3) - after which a few things are evaluated;
  • does the meeting have a name according to a few rules
  • does the body contain a specific string
  • have the required attendee (singluar) accepted the meeting
it is this third condition which I am facing issues on - and unfortunately the entire flow is hinging on this evaluation working!
 
The current attempts I have made are;
{
  "type": "If",
  "expression": {
    "or": [
      {
        "equals": [
          "@triggerOutputs()?['body/responseType']",
          "accepted"
        ]
      },
      {
        "equals": [
          "@triggerOutputs()?['body/responseType']",
          "Accepted"
        ]
      }
    ]
  },
  "actions": { ......
where '.....' indicates the following actions which are not important for this case.

However, the only return I get from the "@triggerOutputs()?['body/responseType']" is "notResponded" - even if they indeed have accepted/rejected the meeting!

I made an attempt with getting help from CoPilot (unfortunately it was as dejecting as always). This is what I got;
1. Trigger: When an upcoming event is starting soon (V3)
2. Action: Office 365 Outlook → Get event (V4) (or if you only have “Get events (V4)”, you can still do it but you’ll get an array)

Event Id = Id from the trigger

3. Action: Compose
  • Inputs: use the expression: body('Get_event_(V4)')

4. Action: Parse JSON

  • Content: output of the Compose
  • Schema: easiest way is:
    • Run once
    • Copy the Compose output JSON
    • “Generate from sample”
5. After Parse JSON, you can reference the attendee objects (if present in that payload) with expressions like:
body('Parse_JSON')?['attendees']

The above does not really make any sense imo - since it does not result in an evaluation on response at all! 


Anyone that could help me in this matter? :)

    Hello,
     
    Could you please let me know are you the organizer of the meeting? If so, response type will be "organizer" and it will not show if its accepted or rejected.
     
     
     
    But if you trying to look for the events organized by others and you have responded then it would show the response as required one.
     
     
     
    Thank you.

    Hello @PowerDeveloperTP

    Thank you for your resaponse! 

    If I understand you correctly then, the responseType value only evaluates MY responses. 

    I am in this case interested in the response of the singular required attendee - which is never myself. 

    To also answer your first question, I am the organizer sometimes - this varies 

    Thank you for taking the time!
