SharePoint Event Web Part Doesn't Work
- Nov 09, 2018
I found out that the Events web part requires the field "All Day Event" to have a value, either true or false to show the event (it is blank when we initially create the event). To update this field in Flow after creating the event, we need to use REST API using the "Send an HTTP request to SharePoint" action. Once you assign a value to the field, the event will show up in the Events web part. Please reference the below link (Mark Invites as Full Day Event section) for the steps to set the "All Day Event" field in Flow.

I deleted the Calendar and recreated it, but the events are still not appearing in the Event Web Part. I also removed and re-added the Web Part with the same results. At this point I am going to simply remove the Web Part and try to find another solution.

They Do.
And if I edit an event it appears on the Event.
It seems like the Event Web Part ignores events that are created by Flow. I do not know what the difference is, but that seems to have made an impact.
I'm testing another theory and will post shortly.

I tried changing the times of the automated events from midnight to 1 am to see if that helped, but with no change.
Once I manually change the event in any way it appears on the Event part.
