Power Automate "When an event is added, updated or deleted" ignore recurring

Anonymous

I am brand new to Power Automate I am trying to test out tracking changes through Power Automate but I do not need or want it to track any recurring event. At the moment it's sending me an email for everything.

I see that with the "peek code" there's a line for recurrence but I am having a hard time finding documentation as to what anything does.

Is there any way to set it to ignore recurring events in a calendar?

    Dear Jose,

    Sorry for the late reply.

    If you trigger the flow with the trigger when an event is added, modified and deleted, the flow will be triggered when the event is created, modified and deleted each time and for each repeating events. So you will receive emails for each events including repeating events.

    To get rid of confusion, I suggest you create three flows for each trigger "when a new event is created", "when a new event is modified" and "when a new event is deleted". As there is no proper trigger for "when a new event is created" with specific condition, I suggest you use Filter Array to filter the specific event, fill the event property to SharePoint list and then send emails based on the list item in SharePoint Online as a workaround. For "when a new event is created", you can create the flow as follows.

    For "when a new event is deleted", there is no such trigger, I suggest you just trigger the flow as "when an item is deleted" in SharePoint Online, then you can remove the event in Calendar to complete the process.

    For "when a new event is modified", if you just modify one event, the flow will only be triggered based on the current event you modified. So only one email will be sent.

    Welcome to share any updates when you have time if you need further help on this issue.

    Best Regards,

    Cliff

    I did just as you showed on your first reply and it was causing issues. It wasn't triggering on recurring events, it was triggering on single events.

    Dear Jose,

    I'm following up on the issue and for the specific scenario, we may need some time to create a flow in Power Automate for you and we will share the updates as soon as possible.

    Thanks for your patience and understanding.

    Oh sorry, I was wondering why that wasn't a category option. Thank you!

    Hi Jose,

    Thanks for posting in the community.

    For your concern, since we have a specific channel Microsoft Power Automate Community coping with such building flow questions, I would like to suggest you post a new thread there for expert help.

    Sorry for that our category may have limited resources on checking on the issue further.

    Thanks for your understanding.

    George
