Get Events

Overview

Using your search parameters (QueryOptions) and specified team (TeamId), the Get Events activity calls the Microsoft Graph ListEvents API to retrieve the events that match your query.

After retrieving the events, the activity returns its properties and relationships in an Event[] object (Events) that you can use as input variables in subsequent activities.

How It Works

The following steps and message sequence diagram is an example how the activity works from design time (i.e., the activity dependencies and input/output properties) to run time.

1. Complete the Setup steps.
2. Add the Microsoft Teams Scope activity to your project.
3. Add an activity or run an external process that outputs a Team.Id value (e.g., Get Teams).
4. Add the Get Events activity inside the Microsoft Teams Scope activity.
5. Enter values for the Input properties.
6. Create and enter a Channel[] variable for your Output property.
7. Run the activity.

   • Your input property values are sent to the ListEvents API.

   • The API returns the Event[] value to your output property variable.
