Schedule a meeting from a message Using Power Automate

19 October 2024

In today's article, I will show you how we can Schedule a meeting from a message using Power Automate.

First, we need to have an active M365 subscription and from the home page, we select Power Automate from the apps. On the Power Automate home page, we select Templates from the left menu.

We locate the available template named "Schedule a meeting from a message."

In the next step, we need to allow all necessary connections and select continue.

On the next screen, we need to select the calendar where the event will be saved and the timezone that will be applied.

In the first step, we have an action type "manual trigger" in Teams, and there we need to create the adaptive card that someone will fill out to trigger the automate.

In the next step, we will save our card.

In the next step, we will create a string variable and set it to T.

The next step is to create a string variable "Meeting Start Time" and initialize it with the expression concat.

In the next step, we create another string variable "Meeting duration" and initialize it with the card output variable that contains the duration.

In the next step, we create another string variable and add the expression addToTime, which calculates the end time of the meeting.

The next step is an action type "get profile," and there from the property teams, we set the User UPN.

The next action is of type "create a teams meeting," and there we enter the subject, message, timezone, start time, and end time, as well as the attendees.
