I have a flow that adds/edits an Outlook event to a SharePoint list. The added/updated parts work fine.

When I test "canceling" an event in Outlook, the flow reacts like it is an "update".

Any assistance on this Friday afternoon would be greatly appreciated.

Found a workaround.

There is a subject field in Outlook for canceled events.
If you do a compose action, you'll see that canceled events start the subject line with "canceled". I just included a condition that checks for cancelled, and the flow works fine.
