Holiday requests - automatic calendar entry

[eaton01]

So i am currently using the prebuilt - request manager approval for leave requests.

Once the flow is complete, i would like it to create a calendar entry, the only thing im struggling with is where/how flow will pull the dates/data into a calendar entry.

I also have a similar issue. I would like to put a date of an event into the calendar of the user who has requested the event but I am unsure of where to get the calendar ID for the user from. I thought that maybe I could get this from the Office 365 Users connector but this doesn't give me a calendar ID option. Any ideas anyone?

I seem to be having an issue with the pre-built "Requ3est manager approval for leave requests" where the "Get My Profile" step seems to keep trying to get MY profile, instead of the users' profile that is creating the item on the sharepoint list.

Any ideas as to why it's using MY PROFILE, instead of the user creating the item?

(Sorry for hijacking the OP, I can repost if necessary) 🙂

Thanks!

Not a problem, do the users have their own Office 365 account?

Seem strange as get my profile should just be automatic, once set there is nothing you can edit.

Is the get manager request working correctly?

The get manager isn't working.  When I click on it, it says because the user (shows my name) doesn't have a manager set.  Which is correct.

The user that actually submitted DOES have a manager.  So going by the error message specifically saying my name, makes me think the "Get My Profile" is getting MY profiel, instead of the name of the user who is creating the item in the list.

I created the list and am the owner, so not sure if the "Get My Profile" is getting MINE because I created the list or flow?

Hi @eaton01,

Do you want to create a calendar event with those data from your SharePoint list?

I have created a leave SharePoint list and the data structure of it as below:Note: The Request Content column is Single line of text type column, Start Time column is a Date type column and the End Time column is a Date type column.

I use the "Request manager approval for leave requests" built-in template to create my flow, within "If/yes" branch of Condition, add a "Create event (V2)" action under the "Inform item creator of approval" action ("Send an email" action). My flow's configuration as below:

Within "Create event (V2)" action, Subject field set to Request Content dynamic content of the trigger, Start time field set to Start Time dynamic content of the trigger, End time field set to End Time dynamic content of the trigger and Required attendees field set to Create By Email dynamic content of the trigger.

The flow works successfully as below:

 

Best regards,

Kris

Hi Kris,

Thanks for this, strange though as Start time and End time dont appear.

Would you be able to export the template and send to me in email?
