Posted on by codythecoder

I'm creating a meeting for the current user

Office365Outlook.V4CalendarPostItem(
 LookUp(Office365Outlook.CalendarGetTablesV2().value, name = "Calendar").id,
 "Instant Meeting",
 DateTime(2024,6,12,12,30,0),
 DateTime(2024,6,12,13,0,0),
 User().TimeZone // Not A Real Function
)

A valid timezone would be something like "(UTC+10:00) Canberra, Melbourne, Sydney" - but this seems like it would fall prey to daylight savings time, so I am reluctant to use it.

The timezone "UTC+10:00" would be nice (I am happy to calculate this from TimeZoneOffset), but it is not accepted by V4CalendarPostItem.

Hi @codythecoder ,

You can create a flow where has the Create item action, select a time zone and peek code, copy the time zone string to an array in your app.

Then in your app, you can either use a Dropdown which using this collection as data source for users to select from, or you can LookUp the collection based on the local time zone string you can already create (i.e. "UTC+10:00").

Best regards,
