SharePoint Event Web Part Doesn't Work
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.

No they are all single events. I learned the recurrence and multi day problem the hard way.
- Sadly I'm not a admin. I am going to bug my company admins to submit for me.
- In the admin portal, go to support tab on the left menu and create a ticket from there
- I'm actually not sure how to do that. I have an enterprise account and it says I have to do an internal request first.... guess that's step 1
- That sounds like it would be worth raising a ticket with support.
- I found that I don't have to edit an item. If I simply open the item and then close it, it will appear on the Web Event part. This seems to confirm that there are no settings that I can edit affecting whether they appear.
It seems that SP cannot see events created by flow until they are accessed manually by a user. From what I have seen the created by/ modified by fields are connected to the account used to create the flow.
They always show my name.
What I find very strange is that I have another calendar using a similar flow to create events. They have the same calendar settings and the events are create in the same method, but those events appear on the Event Web Part.
Some of them are single day and others are multi-day (no repetitions) and they function without issues and without manually editing.
- What's the created by or modified by when you create an event from Flow? Can this be related to created by or modified by fields? Once you edit them with your id, it shows because its modified by your id. Just a thought.
I added an Update Item to the end of my flow to see if simply editing it made the fix, but with no luck. It seems I have to manually update/create an entry for it to appear on the Event Web Part.
