info for date question.gif

1. I would like the end user (of form) to be able to select a desired future date for the first meeting, then

2. They would also have to select another future date for the final meeting, which will be approximately 3-4 weeks after the first meeting, then

3. I would like for them to select another date, which will be at least 1 week prior to the final meeting date, This should automatically add a an event to their calendar to remind them to send out the slide presentation.

I just started using PA this past week so forgive me if this is asking too much and not clear. This is all new to me so I just tried creating this new step "Create event (V4)" and for the future time I created this expression (21,'Day') for start time and (22,'Day') for end time (again just basically taking a wild guess) This did not work. On my List, it shows all three dates as "Today".

Up to "Create event (V4)" the flow works as planned.

Thank you in advance for your time.

Hi @DS36

Pls use addDays() function for future dates and modify the expression for 'Start time' as mentioned below:

addDays(utcNow(),21)

If this helps & solves your problem, please remember to give a 👍 and accept my solution as it will help others in the future.

Thank you for your reply. Do I use the same expression for end time? If so, will that add it to the calendar for an entire day? 24 hours? I'm ok with that, I would just like to know?

Sorry, one more question. For the subject line, do I have to select from the dynamic content? The red circled content is the question from the form, or do I just type in a subject without choosing from the dynamic content.

This worked! I ended up removing the dynamic content with "slide presentation" and just typed in a title. This removed some issues when it added it to my calendar. I also ended up using the same expression for both start and end time. As long as it appears on the calendar, it will satisfy the request! Thank you so much for all your help.
