Creating an Outlook Calendar Event without timeszones

[RL2024]

I am building a flow that creates an Outlook Calendar event based on an Appointment field in another app. This other app does not use time zones.

When I run my flow, it keeps updating the appointment time to the users time zone, interpreting the appoint time as a dynamic value. Is there a way to have Make interpret the data as static data? For example, 2pm is 2pm regardless of where the user is located.

Welcome to the Make community!

Does the “Appointment field in another app” contain timezone data, or is it a plain field?

If it’s a plain field you’ll need to capture the timezone as well so that you can convert it to the Outlook calendar’s time zone by using the parseDate/formatDate third parameter.
