Using a Microsoft Form to create an Outlook Calendar event

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 5

Hello,

 

I am trying to take a submission from Microsoft Forms and turn it into a calendar event in outlook. Unfortunately Forms does not have a way to select the time needed for the valid Datetime. Does anyone have any ideas?

 

 

Thanks,

Alan

    @AlanW 

    What you are asking for seems to be an old requirement, according to the long list of comments in  https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/Microsoft-Forms/Forms-Time-input-question/td-p/14402

    This topic was briefly discussed in Flow forum last year, not sure if the suggestions proposed there match your requirements

    Hope this helps

    Thread revival! I am also looking into this. My current idea is to use Compose to parse out the date/time from the answers from a Form and translate them into a valid input for a "Create an Event (V4)". I'll try and follow-up with what I find.

    Hey, got any luck with that? I'm stuck with parsing the date and time submitted in the form 😕

    No dice, I've kind of given up on the idea and I approached my own problem with an employee culture fix. Without a way in Forms to enforce a standardized time format, I hit a wall.

    Yep, same situation, and also my organization has some issues with Outlook 365. Thanks anyway for the reply
