Power Platform Guides

Four tutorials, one pattern. Each takes a different Microsoft source of work (a spreadsheet, a task list, a booking calendar, a project board), pushes it into Dime.Scheduler as resourcesResourceAn entity that can carry out work - a person, vehicle, tool, or room - that you schedule on the planning board. and tasksTaskA unit of work that belongs to a job. It appears in the open task list until it is scheduled to a resource., and then sends the resulting appointmentsAppointmentA task scheduled to a resource for a specific period - the scheduled instance you see on the planning board. back with a webhookWebhookThe generic connector that POSTs every appointment change as JSON to a URL you choose. It delivers the message and leaves interpretation to the receiving system..

That means you do not need to work through all four. Pick the one whose source system is closest to your customer's, and the mechanics carry over to the others:

  • Tutorial: Excel if the work arrives as rows in a spreadsheet. This is the longest of the four and the best one to read if you want the full picture, because it covers resources and tasks as separate steps.
  • Tutorial: To Do if the work is a personal or shared task list.
  • Tutorial: Booking if appointments already exist in Microsoft Bookings.
  • Tutorial: Planner if the work lives on a Planner board.

All four assume you have already created an API key and set up the connector.
