PROBLEM
We want to track changes in user calendars, but are concerned with how often we'd need to check 2000+ user calendars (Outlook).
Would the process of monitoring over 2000 user calendars present a problem for our network?
WORKFLOW
Trigger (Check for calendar change) -> ACTION (Http: update a DB)
The Trigger below checks a calendar every 2 seconds. Is there a trigger that behaves like a "subscription" object where it simply handles a change notification?
For the question about how often to check the calendar events, it depends on your requirement. In my opinion, if you set check event every 2 seconds(it's a little bit more frequent), you'd better check if your logic app set as run in parallel. You can click the ... button of the trigger and click "Settings". Then check if it is same to below screenshot.
For your question about is there a trigger that behaves like a "subscription". I'm afraid it doesn't exist a trigger which can implement this requirement in logic app. We can also check if any backend api can implement it, we can see the graph api document.
The example in above screenshot is for mailFolders, but it's same with events. We can see it is necessary to specify a user(like me) or a group before the /events. So I don't think we can monitor the subscription events. You can raise a post on Azure feedback page to suggest developer add this feature.

I’m having a problem with a bot that has to reply automatically when a message is posted in a Teams channel. When it is activated, it also responds to messages that were posted prior to its activation. How can i avoid this ?
Thanks for your help
I'm assuming you're running a flow with a Microsoft Teams trigger.
I can see two possible causes of this.
This first is that Microsoft's Team trigger doesn't work very well and is firing for previous posts while the Flow is disabled. Very plausible
If that's the case you need to make a Condition to check if the post date is greater than the current time minus say 10 minutes, AddMins(UtcNow(),-10). If successful, continue, if not, terminate.
Hopefully, you can pull the post date directly from the Teams trigger, but if not you'll have to use a Teams action to look up information about the given post id provided by the trigger.
The second possibility is that you're not taking the ID from the trigger which will tell you what post to respond to, and accidentally doing some kind of reply to all posts in the channel.
Hi StackOverflow community:
Hope everyone is as well as possible during this current pandemic. We're developing an AI-based system which needs to collect inputs from various sources, including MS Teams. For example, we need to be able to trigger an API call when someone clicks on a 'channel' or a 'chat', when they click on a link which takes them outside of MS Teams (for example, they click on a weblink which takes them to a website), when they post in a chat/channel and so on.
Given that this program will be used by many non-technical users, we don't want the user to have to initiate the API call - it has to be done automatically.
I was hoping please that some people would be able to let me know which actions can/can not trigger API calls and outgoing webhooks? And the best way of automatically triggering the API calls when these events occur?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Is there a way we can trigger AWS Lambda function from Microsoft Teams. what I wanted to achieve is that stakeholders be able to approve merge requests from MS teams or maybe give an approval on Production rollout.
Is this connection possible at all?
Please help
Yes, this is definitely possible, but there are a bunch of things you need to do to get a full working solution, so it's hard to give it all in one answer here. Here are some guidelines to get started though:
You need a something for the user to actually "Approve", and way to do this. A common approach is to send a "Card" to Teams, which can have an "Approve" button. There are a few different kinds of cards, and different ways to send them to Teams, including a Bot, Flow/PowerAutomate (which uses it's own Bot behind the scenes) and incoming Webhooks.
When the user clicks the "Approve" (or "Reject") buttons, you need a way to handle the action (to link the button click to AWS).
If you've built Bots before, this might be the easiest option. If you want to use Flow/Power Automate, that's another option (see here for more information about important changes due "this quarter" - I'm not sure if they're released yet). If you've not used any of these, your best bet might be:
Configure an Incoming Webhook
Send a Connector Card with a "Post" button
Set the POST url to be your AWS Lambda
I have a few events in my apps that have parameters For example
Ads - Custom Event
Network Name - event param
Status - event param
So the main event is Ads and I'm passing in the network name say "Admob" for example and the status so "Failed" for example.
Is it possible in flurry to see how many users who saw the "Admob" network also returned a status of "Failed"?
Yes there a couple of ways that you can calculate the number of user who triggered an event with a specific parameter value.
1) From https://dev.flurry.com open your project and visit Manage -> Segments. You can create a segment of users that have triggered an event with a specific parameter value.
2) You can use Flurry's Explorer tool to perform the calculation very quickly. See the green banner at the top of the developer portal or the 'Explorer' link from the project page.
I'm building an event signup system and integrating it with Ubercart. Each event is a product and has a price and a start time.
I wish to be able to trigger an action one week before the event starts. The action is supposed to send an email to the users that bought the event and perform a capture on the registrant's credit card. But where do I define the action and how do I trigger it one week before event start?
I assume you're talking about Drupal 6, since you're mentioning ubercart. Does the action to send the email you're takling about already exist?
If it does, you can assign it under Site Building | Triggers | Cron. If it doesn't show up in the list of actions, you might need the Triggerunlock module.
If the action doesn't exist, you're going to have to write the PHP code to send the emails and do the calculations. You will need to create your own module and either use hook_cron, or create a custom action.
