Create Event

Overview

The Create Event activity calls the Microsoft Graph CreateEvent API to create a new event object (Event) in your specified team (TeamId).

After creating your new event, the activity outputs the identifier (EventId) as a String that you can use as an input variable in subsequent activities (e.g., Delete Event, ).

How It Works

The following steps and message sequence diagram is an example of how the activity works from design time (i.e., the activity dependencies and input/output properties) to run time.

  1. Complete the Setup steps.
  2. Add the Microsoft Teams Scope activity to your project.
  3. Add an activity or run an external process that outputs a Team.Id value (e.g., Get Teams).
  4. Add the Create Event activity inside the Microsoft Teams Scope activity.
  5. Enter values for the Input properties, including a new Event variable.
  6. Create and enter a String variable for your Output property.
  7. Run the activity.

    • Your input property values are sent to the CreateEvent API.
    • The API returns the event id String value to your output property variable.
