We are looking to use this function. However, lets say you want to invite people from other time zones. How does the automation ensure that we look at their availability during their normal working hours? Example: One person in Chicago, the other person in Hong Kong. Just want to make sure we do not set up a meeting in the middle of the night for one of those individuals. Thanks

    @John_209203 Outlook: Create Meeting Start time is a 24-hour date-time format, like 2012-09-24T09:00:00. A time zone is a requirement in this action setup to convert the date-time to the correct time zone.

    Using this time 9AM example, below is how this date-time changes when you use a different time zone in Outlook: Create Meeting.

    Start time: 2012-09-24T09:00:00
    Time Zone: America/Chicago

    Result: As a calendar user in Chicago, the scheduled meeting start time is 9AM Chicago time.

    Start time: 2012-09-24T09:00:00
    Time Zone: Asia/Hong_Kong

    Result: As a calendar user in Chicago, the scheduled meeting start time is 8PM Chicago time.

    Please let me know if you have any follow up questions.
