Hi, I saw an old post (2018), saying that it’s not possible to define start, end and time duration when using under Flow, an action to create an event on Outlook calendar and planner.

Does this still works like that?

I have processes/projects, with several tasks and each with its own different time duration. My need is when running the Flow, that all programmed tasks would be created in Outlook calender and Planner according to:

- <manual trigger DATE> + x days (ex. 2019/10/17 + 5 days => 2019/10/22

- <manual trigger DATE:START TIME> + y minutes of task duration (ex. DATE 2019/10/22, START TIME 9:30am + 15 mins. => 2019/10/122, END TIME 9:45am.

My goal is, besides creating the tasks, to insert expected task duration time to make sure task holder complies with “expected task duration time” as well as we don’t get task overflow on a particular task busy day of the week.

Regards.
