Hello, when I try to create a recurrent event, with a specified start and end date. I always created a only 30 minutes event. It is because this error message: ErrorOccurrenceTimeSpanTooBig. On stackoverflow i found, that I have to remove start and end object, to make it work. It helped, but now I have only 30 minutes meetings. Event, which I created was in new and empty calendar, so there should be no conflict. Sending you a image of event, I created.

Hi Tichy, Jakub I created a recurring event with a duration of 30 minutes using me/events (POST) Could you please confirm if the request body has been added correctly? here I added sample request. { "subject": "Daily Standup Meeting", "body": { "contentType": "Text", "content": "Quick update on daily tasks" }, "start": { "dateTime": "2024-03-05T09:00:00", "timeZone": "UTC" }, "end": { "dateTime": "2024-03-05T09:30:00", "timeZone": "UTC" }, "recurrence": { "pattern": { "type": "daily", "interval": 1 }, "range": { "type": "endDate", "startDate": "2024-03-05", "endDate": "2024-06-01" } } } for more details, check the documentation https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/user-post-events?view=graph-rest-1.0&tabs=http#example-3-create-a-recurring-event I hope this helps.

Hi, thank you for your reply!

Actually, I'm taking a different approach. My use case is that this request is sent by service, so my route looks like this:

/users/${roomEmail}/calendar/events

And then the error, which I mentioned above occurs.

could you share the request body ? .it might be issue of invalid payload details such as recurrence property.

Hi, sure, this is my payload:

{ "subject": "Seminář znalostního inženýrství I", "body": { "contentType": "HTML", "content": "Seminář znalostního inženýrství I" }, "start": { "dateTime": "2024-02-19T08:15:00.000Z", "timeZone": "Central Europe Standard Time" }, "end": { "dateTime": "2024-05-25T08:45:00.000Z", "timeZone": "Central Europe Standard Time" }, "recurrence": { "pattern": { "type": "weekly", "interval": 1, "daysOfWeek": ["Saturday"], "firstDayOfWeek": "Monday" }, "range": { "type": "endDate", "startDate": "2024-02-19", "endDate": "2024-05-25" } }, "attendees": [ { "emailAddress": { "address": "th_a_1455@x2h3h.onmicrosoft.com", "name": "TH:A-1455" }, "type": "required" } ] }

Hi Tichy, Jakub

Based on the data in your request body, the gap between your start date and end date is too large. that is why Graph API send error response,

It should be a gap of 30 minutes according to your requirement.

start and end date must be similar to below. in this manner, it creates events every Saturday.

"start": { "dateTime": "2024-03-03T08:15:00.000Z", "timeZone": "Central Europe Standard Time" }, "end": { "dateTime": "2024-03-03T08:45:00.000Z", "timeZone": "Central Europe Standard Time" },
