Hello. I am trying to create an automation that will delete Calendar events in outlook that invite the Filevine project (using the project email) of projects that get changed to “Archive”. But the email doesn't seem to work well as a search term. If I search the project email by hand on Outlook, the events all pop up. I see in the params it’s looking for “contains subject{}” but our title of the event my always change.
Hi
Click underlined field labels to see a tooltip with more info that may be helpful.
Yes I have done that. I suppose it is difficult to search by “subject” because the events associated with the FV projects do not always have the full name of the project. We often use client last names but that is not a field (and is not always the case).
In theory, I am trying to output the event ID so I can delete it right?
To delete an Outlook Event you need the ID of the Outlook Event.
If you don’t already have the ID of the Outlook Event, then you need to add Zap step logic to find the Outlook Event to get the ID.
The Searchterm field only will search across these:
So if you want to search for an event by an email address, then that would require using the Outlook API for advanced searching.
