Creating appointments

Schedule work from a Power Automate flow by creating an appointmentAppointmentA task scheduled to a resource for a specific period - the scheduled instance you see on the planning board. in Dime.Scheduler. Before you can do this, the jobJobA high-level container, comparable to a project, that bundles related tasks together with common information such as customer, billing, and address. and taskTaskA unit of work that belongs to a job. It appears in the open task list until it is scheduled to a resource. must already exist. For the reasoning behind that, see from job to appointment. To create jobs and tasks from the Power Platform, see the previous article.

An appointment ties three things together: a job (the equivalent of a project), a task (the equivalent of an activity within that project), and a resourceResourceAn entity that can carry out work - a person, vehicle, tool, or room - that you schedule on the planning board.. In other words, an appointment assigns a task to a resource to be carried out at a specific date and time.

The action on the Power Platform makes this clear:
