Creating an appointment using a powerapp

Hello,
I have a powerapp that creates a reminder for our admin team to carry out a process when a driver leaves our fleet. At the moment it works as it should, the user presses a button within the powerapp and amongst other things it books a reminder into the users Outlook for 7 days time. Our process has changed slightly and I need to update the powerapp to reflect this change though i have no idea how to do this.

If a driver leaves at any point in any month there needs to be a reminder set into the users Outlook calendar for the 8th of the following month - any ideas how I will do this ?. Below is the part of the code that works at the minute and i'm hoping someone can tell me how to edit it to perform the new appointment settings.

Thanks for your help in advance.

//Book reminder in for driver deletion
Office365Outlook.V3CalendarPostItem(LookUp(Office365Outlook.CalendarGetTables().value, DisplayName="Calendar").Name,"DELETE DRIVER FROM THE SYSTEM",  
DateAdd(Now(), 7 + TimeZoneOffset(),TimeUnit.Days),
DateAdd(Now(),7 + TimeZoneOffset(),TimeUnit.Days),
   { Importance:"High",
    IsAllDay: false,
    RequiredAttendees:"nichole.bates@stationtaxis.com; michael.grogan@stationtaxis.com",
    Body:"Reminder to delete this driver from the system 7 days after leaving "& Upper(FstName.Text) & " , " & Upper('2ndName'.Text) & " , " & "Badge Number:" & Badge2.Text & " " & BadgeDrvr.Text,
    IsHtml:true});

Do you need the reminder to be 8. date in the next month or does it need to be the next 8. date no matter if its this month or the next?

Okay if it needs to be the next month 8. date

Set(NextMonthFirstDay, DateAdd(Today(), 1, TimeUnit.Months) - Day(Today()) + 1); Set(ReminderDate, DateAdd(NextMonthFirstDay, 7, TimeUnit.Days)); Office365Outlook.V3CalendarPostItem( LookUp(Office365Outlook.CalendarGetTables().value, DisplayName="Calendar").Name, "DELETE DRIVER FROM THE SYSTEM", ReminderDate, ReminderDate, { Importance: "High", IsAllDay: false, RequiredAttendees: "nichole.bates@stationtaxis.com; michael.grogan@stationtaxis.com", Body: "Reminder to delete this driver from the system on the 8th of the following month: " & Upper(FstName.Text) & " , " & Upper('2ndName'.Text) & " , Badge Number:" & Badge2.Text & " " & BadgeDrvr.Text, IsHtml: true } );

if it needs to be the next 8.date.

Set(CurrentDate, Today()); Set(CurrentMonth8th, DateValue(Text(Year(CurrentDate)) & "-" & Text(Month(CurrentDate), "00") & "-08")); If( CurrentDate <= CurrentMonth8th, Set(ReminderDate, CurrentMonth8th), Set(ReminderDate, DateAdd(CurrentMonth8th, 1, TimeUnit.Months)) ); Office365Outlook.V3CalendarPostItem( LookUp(Office365Outlook.CalendarGetTables().value, DisplayName="Calendar").Name, "DELETE DRIVER FROM THE SYSTEM", ReminderDate, ReminderDate, { Importance: "High", IsAllDay: false, RequiredAttendees: "nichole.bates@stationtaxis.com; michael.grogan@stationtaxis.com", Body: "Reminder to delete this driver from the system on the 8th: " & Upper(FstName.Text) & " , " & Upper('2ndName'.Text) & " , Badge Number:" & Badge2.Text & " " & BadgeDrvr.Text, IsHtml: true } );

The hardest part is figuring out when the next 8th is. It could look something like this:

UpdateContext({dtmToday: Today()});

UpdateContext({intMonth: Month(dtmToday)});

UpdateContext({intYearNext: Year(dtmToday)});

If(Day(dtmToday)<=8,

//Use current month & year

UpdateContext({intMonthNext: intMonth});

UpdateContext({intYearNext: Year(dtmToday)});

,

//Need to determine the next 8th.

//Based on current Month, set next month and year

If(intMonth < 12,

UpdateContext({intMonthNext: intMonth + 1});

,

UpdateContext({intMonthNext: 1}),

UpdateContext({intYearNext: intYearNext+1})

);

);

UpdateContext({dtmNextEight: intYearNext & "-" & intMonthNext & "-08"})

Then, you can graft that into the same structure that you used previously to Post an appointment:

Office365Outlook.V3CalendarPostItem(LookUp(Office365Outlook.CalendarGetTables().value, DisplayName="Calendar").Name,"DO SOMETHING ON THE 8th",

dtmNextEighth,

dtmNextEighth,

{ Importance:"High",

IsAllDay: false,

RequiredAttendees:"nichole.bates@stationtaxis.com; michael.grogan@stationtaxis.com",

Body:"Reminder to do something on the 8th "& Upper(FstName.Text) & " , " & Upper('2ndName'.Text) & " , " & "Badge Number:" & Badge2.Text & " " & BadgeDrvr.Text,

IsHtml:true});
