Integration of bookings with Flow and PowerApps
Is it possible to use bookings functionality in a PowerApp. I am looking for a solution that will support the booking of resources in an online examination room, asking the person to do a reservation for each student is too time consuming, is there a way to using the bookings app. to define the resource capacity and availability but use an app to create the (multiple) reservations? There does not seem to be a connector in Flow.
Paul Dewhurst I have created a flow that is using the trigger "When a new event is created (V3)" (Office 365 Outlook) and used the bookings "user"email for the connection , so now when a booking is made I can automatically do other "flow" actions.

This is quite an old thread but since quite a lot of folks are interested in a connector for Bookings, i am reviving this post. Do checkout our new Bookings power automate connector. We have blogged about it here: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/microsoft-bookings-blog/announcing-microsoft-bookings-power-automate-connector-now/bc-p/3587369
There is a link to the connector and the documentation in the blog as well.https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/connectors/microsoftbookings/
- The new connector is "Premium" this is not helpful. Bookings SHOULD NOT be a premium connector.
- Vignesh_KailasBookings connector should no longer show up as a premium connector. Can you check now? David_Swenson

_MichaelVD_ May I ask what actions you are doing with flow after setting up this connection?
- creating documents & lists on sharepoint with the filled in information & sending approval request mails
_MichaelVD_ You can share the Outlook booking calendar behind the booking site with yourself and use your own account for the connection in your flow. That way you don’t need an admin providing you with the password for the booking account.
robertbuzink how do you share the calendar w/ yourself? I couldnt find anything about that...
- I have done this as well and used "Html to text (preview)" to convert the content of the email to text so that I could do some magic with it via a Flow.
- I am completely puzzled and angry with Microsoft for not including a Flow Connector for Microsoft bookings :(
How come it allows any products in Office 365 without including a connector to Flow, PowerApps or Power BI, it should be a minimum engineering requirements.
