    You can set the Power Automate to Recurrence trigger and you will get different configuration options to choose from similar to outlook.

    There is more to the solution than just using a recurrence trigger. 

    Please let me know if you need more help

    I don't want the Power Automate Flow to run on an occurrence pattern, I want the Flow to run once and create dates based on a specified recurrence pattern.
     
    I want to create one or more event records in Dynamics e.g.
     
    a) one event on a set date
    b) an event with a number of occurrences, daily, weekly, monthly, yearly
    c) an event that occurs on e.g. the first Monday of each week, the last Friday, etc.
     
     It's scenario c) that's the hard one.
