10/15/2023

Japanese version.

Trigger to launch "Automated cloud flow" when a new event is registered in the Office 365 Outlook calendar.

The information of added events can be used to send notification e-mails or to record them in a file, for example.

There is "When an event is added, updated or deleted", but there is no difference in functionality for adding events.

It is recommended that you use these different functions depending on whether you want to manage events in a single flow or separate flows for different operations.

How to use

Click on "Create" then "Automated cloud flow".

Specify any name for "Flow name" and select "When a new event is created".

When both are specified, "Create" will change color and click on it.

Set parameters.

Caution

Triggers are also triggered when an event is created in a PowerAutomate action.

Depending on how the flow is organized, triggers may be triggered indefinitely.
