We are seeking an experienced Microsoft 365 / Power Automate consultant to design and implement a reliable automation connecting a SharePoint Online list to an Outlook shared calendar.
The goal is to ensure key project deliverables tracked in a SharePoint list automatically appear as events in a shared Outlook calendar and stay synchronized when items are updated.
Current Setup
SharePoint Online list used as a Master Workplan
Partial Power Automate flow (not functioning reliably)
Outlook shared calendar used for team visibility
The current flow needs to be audited and rebuilt (if necessary) to function reliably.
Scope of Work
The consultant will design and implement a Power Automate workflow that:
Calendar Creation
Creates an Outlook calendar event when a relevant list item is created
Uses list fields to populate the event title and description
Event Details
Event title should include key identifying fields (e.g., project or deliverable name)
Event description should include additional list fields and links where available
Date Handling
Create an all-day event spanning start and end dates from the SharePoint list
Synchronization
When the SharePoint item is updated, the event should update accordingly (including date changes)
Preferred (if feasible)
If additional information is added to the list item later (for example a deliverable link), the event description should update to reflect that change
Lifecycle Management
Store the Outlook Event ID in SharePoint
Prevent duplicate events
Update the existing event rather than creating new ones
Delete or cancel the event if the SharePoint item is cancelled
Reliability
Avoid trigger loops or duplicate events
Handle timezone correctly
Documentation
Provide brief documentation of the workflow
Provide a short recorded walkthrough (10–20 minutes)
Optional (If Within Scope)
Depending on complexity and time remaining:
Weekly summary email showing upcoming items requiring review
OR
Targeted Teams reminder to item owners
Engagement Details
Short engagement (estimated 10–20 hours)
Remote
Fixed-scope project
Requirements
Demonstrated experience with Power Automate + SharePoint Online + Outlook calendar integration
Experience designing workflows that create and update calendar events from list data
Ability to structure reliable flows that avoid duplicate events
Clear communication and documentation
When Applying Please Include
1️⃣ A brief explanation of how you typically synchronize SharePoint list items with Outlook calendar events without creating duplicates
2️⃣ An example of a similar automation you have built
3️⃣ Estimated hours and rate
We are not seeking a full system redesign — this is a focused workflow automation project. The SharePoint list contains approximately 20 fields, though only a subset will need to be mapped to the calendar event.
