Use Start Time of Shift to create Calendar Event

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by sablank 18

I want to create a calendar event when a shift is created. The overall Flow is a lot bigger but this is the point of failure.

How to use the Start Time of the Shift in the "Create Event (V4)" action?

This exact approach worked a couple years ago but is now creating problems.

    @sablank  This has most probably to do with the format of your datetimes. You can use FormatDateTime() function to convert the formats of your current datetimes to the right format.

    I tried using FormatDateTime() but was not successfull. Are you able to provide a more detailed pointer?

    This flow does not exist in this form anymore. But I think this Screenshot of a different flow will also help you:
