Office 365 Calendar

[Mailman]

I am evaluating a move from zapier.
I have a zap which checks my calendar and adds a record to airtable for each even 15 mins prior to each event to remind me to report on the event.
I cant see that pabbly lets me get the data for an event in this way.

Hey @Mailman,

The use case you are describing is possible, and this is how it will work:

Step 1: Set up Microsoft Office 365's New Calendar Event as the Trigger App to capture new events.
Step 2: Subtract 15 minutes from your event starting time using Date/Time Formatter.
Step 3: If you receive the event starting time in a different time zone, fix it using Date/Time Formatter.
Step 4: Add a delay to your workflow so that events get added to Airtable 15 minutes before they start.
Step 5: Set up Airtable's Create Record as the Action App.

Ignore the action app:

Skip to 3:48

Yes, it would trigger when a new event is created in your calendar; but the record will be added to Airtable 15 minutes before the start of the event.
