Extract phone number and name from a calendar invite for Twilio

[flowrookie]

Hi all,

I would like to send appointment reminders through Twilio and O365 Calendar:

The body of the invite looks like this:

***

Customer Info

--------------------

Name: John Doe

Email: xxxxxx@xxxxx.com

Phone Number: xxxxxxxxxx

Booking Info

--------------------

Service name: Initial consult

Location: Our office address

The Trigger I picked is "When an upcoming event is starting soon (V2)"

The Action I picked is "Twilio Send Text Message (SMS)" action which requires: From Phone Number, To Phone Number, and Text.

I want the To Phone Number to be the phone number from the invite body above in green and the Text to say "Hi (name from body), your appointment is confirmed for (start date and time of the invite) at (Organizer of the invite). Here is our address: (Address from the location field above)."

What should I put in the To Phone Number and Text fields to get this output?

Thank you in advance and I appreciate any help!!

I was able to get the phone number correctly but there is a carriage return after the number. Does anyone know how I can remove that?

first(skip(split(first(split(body('Html_to_text'),'Booking Info')),'Phone Number: '),1))

Also, how do I upload images to these posts. I tried the "Insert/edit image" button but it doesn't give me an option to pick an image from my desktop.

Hi @flowrookie,

Do you want to extract Phone Number, Name, Email, etc. from the event body?

Please take the following configuration for a reference.

Add the trigger When a new event is created.

Add action Html to text.

Add Compose action, use the following code to get the starting position of the number.

add(indexOf(body('Html_to_text'),'Phone Number'),13)

 Add Compose 2, use the following code to get the starting position of Booking info.

indexOf(body('Html_to_text'),'Booking info')

 Add Compose 3, use the following code to extract Phone Number:

substring(body('Html_to_text'),outputs('Compose'),sub(outputs('Compose_2'),outputs('Compose')))

 

The same way with Name, Email, etc. Please take a try with it on your side.

Best regards,

Mabel

Hi @v-yamao-msft,

What you suggested almost worked, there is a carriage return after the phone number since there is a blank line before "Booking Info". How do I eliminate this carriage return?

I can't figure out how to add an image to this post so I uploaded it. Here is the link:

Thanks for all your help.

Hi @flowrookie,

Please try to use a Trim function to remove leading and trailing whitespace from a string.

Besides, please click the Photo icon to upload images.

Best regards,
