Can the Microsoft 365 Calendar module be configured to create events so that it shows in your calendar as an all day event?

Hi all,

I tried searching for an answer and have done extensive testing, but have not yet arrived at a solution.

Is there a way in the Microsoft 365 calendar module to set the parameter so when an event is created, it creates an all day event in your home calendar?

I have been exploring the configuration/parameters in the module but have not seen a way to do this.

Thank you for your help,

Nick

Hi @NicholasPa1,

In the Microsoft 365 Calendar Module, there isn't an explicit way to create an all day event. However, you can still achieve this by creating variables and using them in the start and end date fields. 

1. Create startDate and endDate variables using midnight as the time and specifying your timezone. Make sure to add 1 day to the endDate variable.
2. Use the startDate and endDate variables in the Microsoft 365 Calendar Module but make sure to offset by the difference in your local time zone from UTC. This is because despite specifying midnight in your variables, the Microsoft 365 Calendar module still tries to use your local timezone and adds the offset back.
   
   

Keep in mind, the metadata of the event won't reflect "isAllDay: true" but visually in your calendar it will look the same as an all day event. If you need the metadata to reflect that, you will need to make a custom API call using either the "Microsoft 365 Calendar - Make an API Call" module or the HTTP module and specify full URL, headers and desired body. 

I made a very simple example and I've attached screenshots here. 

Please let me know if you have additional questions!
