Microsoft Flow is a cloud-based service that allows users to build workflows that automate business tasks and processes across applications and services. There are a number of calendar automation flow templates that can be made use of to make schedule management easier. For example, you can display consolidated events from Google calendar and Outlook.com/Microsoft 365 (formerly known as 0365) in our app using Microsoft Flow. The use case could be combining an internal company calendar with an external (suppliers’) calendar. Another use case could be the combination of a business and private calendar. In a free Flow account you’ll get 750 runs per month with an update frequency of 15 minutes. That should be good enough for most of the display applications. If you have an Microsoft 365 (formerly known as 0365) subscription, you’ll get 2000 runs per month and an update frequency of 5 minutes.
