SharePoint Workflow - Adding appoint to Calendar

Question

Team,

I am creating a workflow for a vacation request.  The workflow takes the new item created, sends the user a confirmation email then sends the approver the approval email.  When the approver selects, Approve, the flow should add the event to the vacation calendar.  This is where I am stuck.  I choose, create new item and set the path to my calendar.  When I try to select the calendar, it gives an error indicating it can not find the path.  If I shorten the path to match the list, it only displays the list not the calendar.  Below are the paths to the two areas that I am trying to get to:

https://www.mysite.com/sites/sub-dir/TEST/LeaderVacationRequests/  - this path allows access to the List "Leave Request"

https://www.mysite.com/sites/sub-dir/TEST/LeaderVacationRequests/Lists/Leave%20Calendar/ - Path to calendar

If I use either of the paths above, or any combination of, I can not see the calendar or any calendar.  When I look at the way the calendar was created, it shows as a Event List versus the leaver request is a List.

How can I get the workflow to see the calendar and add the new item?  What am I missing?

I am using Office 365 if that helps.

Thanks for any guidance you have.

Hi Bill,

From your screenshot, you are using the Microsoft Flow in a SharePoint list. Support for most of these issues are currently provided by flow engineering teams via this forum. We suggest you post your question there.

Hi William,

Thank you.  I will try those links momentarily and see what I can figure out.  As to your questions:

1)  Currently online however I can also use Designer with our without Visio 2013

2. Attached are two.  In this version I tried to create a outlook item and added the calendar to my outlook to find it.  Still doesn't work :-(

Thanks!
