I've been recently trying to create a Flow on Power Automate, that creates an event on someone's behalf, same behavior we achieve when sending an email from some other user's end, we do this with configuring our 'FROM' field knowing that the user has the permission to do so. I'm not sure how one goes on achieving this with 'Creating An Event (v4)' trigger.

Your Flow should be manually triggered by the user - so you can't use automated Flow such as item added on SharePoint List, or scheduled Flow.

Example of manual trigger will be OnSelect property of Icon / Button on PowerApp.

Once the Flow is triggered, you can use Get Calendars (V2) and then Create Event (V4)

What is the purpose of using a manual trigger here?
I have an instance of Marketing app running and I'm using Dataverse to access the fields which I want to send to Create Event trigger step, if I'm required configure the sender of the invite i.e. the 'FROM' field then what exactly am I suppose to follow? What role will the manual trigger play in my use case?

When you use an automated Flow or Scheduled Flow, the flow run uses permissions available to the developer account. So all of your end users have to give SendAs permission to the developer.

When you use a manual Flow, then at the run-time: Flow run uses permissions the end user has granted to the App. In this case, your end users don't have to give permission to developer but to the App.
