How to create a Meeting from a Meeting in Power Automate

41844108 306

So I'm immediately confused because I don't have a dedicated Calendar app, and I don't know if I should initiate this with Outlook or Teams since both seem to have calendars shoehorned in and neither seem to be the default or more important calendar.

This is the basics of what I want: Accept any meeting > Create Teams meeting

So first I need to know which calendar to use for PA. I assume I should start with Outlook, but I'm immediatly stalled on that because all the triggers are super general and the "advanced options" doesn't have a filter for body content.

Ideally I will override the "move email to trash for every meeting accepted" with "create a second meeting with a Teams meeting for every single meeting accepted". It's just a workaround for MS being unable to use machine learning like Gmail and Apple Mail, and so it sends a notification for all meetings, not just Teams meetings like your questionable engineers think is acceptable.

If anyone knows how to use PA this could be your day. I've never met anyone who does, but then again I know developers, engineers, UX designers, graphic designers and people who use Macs and don't have these problems that need crazy workarounds for daily function.

Hi @41844108

Teams tag is mainly focused on the general issue of Microsoft Teams troubleshooting.

Since your question is related to Power Automate, which is not in our support scope.

I suggest you go to the Automate forum and ask your questions. Thanks for your understanding!

Sadly there is no PA support and I’m just trying make teams work like it should.

Perhaps you noticed I’m asking to do something very basic and it’s not possible with Teams, much like visual communication in general.

LiewaiTian, do you know how to get notifications for all meetings? I did discover Outlook for mobile is more sophisticated and behaves like a modern Mail App, so perhaps if start accepting all my meetings on my phone and then hope to remember to click on the date to make a second event and add a Teams Meeting to the dummy event. This alleviates the need to manually go between 2 screens to verify time and date for each meeting.

Hi　＠41844108

Do you want to add a new event in Calendar after accepting a meeting invitation?

After you've been invited to a meeting, an event automatically appears in your calendar, so why would you add more new events?

Because the faulty design has notifications for Teams meetings only. It's too stupid to recognize Zoom and Google Meet meeting URLs and is not designed to notify us. Since I miss many client meetings because they use tools other than MS, we MS users look like idiots because of our faulty infrastructure.

My goal is to make Teams work better, which is basically impossible I know, but if I can hack it to just create duplicate meetings for all calendar events, then we won't look like MS snobs unable to take calls from non MS meetings.

Considering how easy it would be to implement adding notifications to any calendar event with a zoom or meet link, this is effectively another case of MS intentionally being difficult, causing us to be unprofessional and making me work extra hard to hack it so it has basic functionality.

Hi @41844108

Do you want to automatically add an event to Calendar when you receive Zoom and Google Meet meeting invites?

I am afraid that this useful feature isn't supported in Teams.

However, you can send a feedback directly to Microsoft to add it in future updates.

To send a feedback in Team you can select the Help button at the bottom lower-left of Teams and then choose Suggest a feature or Give feedback to tell to Microsoft what you think.
