Hi Everyone

I am trying to build a power automate flow to:
Create an event on outlook when a Microsoft form is completed.

I want it to be a flow that can be automated to the point where I have to just update the actual form and it will keep working over the next few years without too much trouble in editing the entire flow.

The issue I am running into, is that I cannot get an ISO date or time output for it to make an event on outlook

I have attached images of the current code and the flow itself.

I have consulted copilot and it keeps giving me the same code, the same problem and nothing changes

If someone can point out what a good fix could be, please let me know so I can fix this once and for all

Building flows

There seems to be an issue with the attachments being processed so they get released. It is best to insert the images directly into your post. The create event action shows you the format that is needed for the action:

You will enter it in yyyy-MM-ddThh:mm:ss format and choose the time zone of the event. For example, if you wanted to create a meeting that starts at the current time three days from now, you would use this expression: addDays(utcNow(),3, 'yyyy-MM-ddThh:mm:ss')

For illustrative purposes only, the end date is four days from now: addDays(utcNow(),4, 'yyyy-MM-ddThh:mm:ss')

How you'll get the information using Microsoft Forms so it is in this format will be challenging since the date field does not include time information. If you're asking how to get the data in the ISO8601 format needed for this action, please show the format you are getting returned from your form response that includes the time information. You'll need to be sure the time format uses 24-hour and not 12-hour format. In 12-hour format, 01:00 could be 1 AM or 1 PM, which is why 24-hour format is needed so it returns 13:00 for 1 PM.
