I want a zap to create a trello card everytime a recurring calendar event starts on my outlook calendar. After creating the flow, recurring events don’t show as an option. One-off events do show. Am I using the wrong trigger?

Where can we find a link to that feature request?
Please add me as well.
I would also like to be added to this vote. I have the air table solution in place but it is still presenting a new set of issues.

Sure thing,
FYI, it looks like Microsoft Power Automate DOES trigger on recurring Office365 events, so for anyone stuck with this issue then that seems to be the way to go. I’ve only just started to explore it but for Microsoft apps it seems to offer very deep integration and immense flexibility - at a price, of course.
Good luck.
Please also add me.

Hi there,
Ditto here! I’m trying to keep my google calendar uptodate with my Outlook calendar and if I can’t include recurring events then it’s basically useless.
Please add me to this feature request. It is critical for some automations we would like to do.
Hi @Sam, I’ve added you onto that feature request. Thanks for letting us know that it would help you with your Zaps.

To All Watching this:
You can use airtable and digest to create a workaround for this Zap so 'recurring events' will be created (mind you invite people endlessly often)
Are you interested in a zap we share?
Please!
I found a couple of workarounds. One is to have the recurring Outlook meeting with a specific name (or specific set of characters in the name) and filter on those letters. That’s not so good since it will generate unnecessary results if another meeting happens to use that character string. The other, better for me, option is to not use Outlook at all, but to instead use the Zapier scheduler to setup the recurring event and then trigger my text sending from RingCentral via the scheduler.
This integration is a non-negotiable for my organization (large, 10,000+ employees); unfortunately, we cannot use Zapier without it. Please add me to this list for feature request.
It is also critical that I have this feature operational. This can’t be that hard to tag on… It seems right now the JSON format obtained for each “event” comes from a series (whether it has a recurrence or not). It needs to capture the singular events. The Start Date is from the beginning of the series which doesn’t help anyone unless you’re only looking at the first singular event of the series, which is often not the case. This thread has been open for 2 years. Time to act on it guys… Please add my vote to this. If this isn’t functional, I will need to look for other tools to leverage instead of Zapier.
I’ve just created a Zap from Outlook calendar to Google Calendar with this purpose, but it does not work.
Thanks!

Hi
I just checked and the feature request is still open. I’ve added your vote to it. I’m not sure that there’s a workaround involving another calendar. I think you’d run into the same problem, since you can’t trigger on the recurring event.
