Flow Failed - Outlook to Google Calendar - new event creation

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 8

My flow seems to only fail when I've created an event in Outlook - it will be successful with a regular sync.

 

This is the step that fails - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1AGFpnfZCsu1-7DEoMyqjhpK5qB_rmjVz/view?usp=sharing

 

This is the only flow that I use.

    Please @GivePeasAChance  try to add an screanshot about your action inside the control to check the error

    Yes @GivePeasAChance  exactly see what you need to do is look into your substring expression.

     

    The error is because you are trying to get some data from your complete string that are over range. For example

     

    See I have here a title: New event creation

    the number of characters are: 18 

    when you use sub string you can't read data from more that 18 characters 

     

    And thats what you have the error

    This is over my head - so essentially my titles of the events are too long?

     

    I have no experience with this stuff, just a hope and prayer that things work when I need them to!

    InvalidTemplate. Unable to process template language expressions in action 'Create_an_event' inputs at line '1' and column '2948': 'The template language function 'substring' parameter is out of range: 'start index' must be non-negative integer and should be less than the length of the string. Please see https://aka.ms/logicexpressions#substring for usage details.'.

    @GivePeasAChance  please i need to see what you have inside your expression, how you have your expression configured.
