Currently I have created HOL file which contains colleague's birthday dates so that I will get a reminder to prepare a birthday email and send it to the group.
The team is keep growing so I have to add update the HOL file again and again and delete the appointments and run the HOL file. And also I am sharing this HOL file with two more members also. so it is taking time for everyone. So I would like to know any other approach where I can keep the HOL file in a shared drive and refer that file in outlook and outlook will get automatically with HOL.
Your help is really appreciable.
Thanks.

Here is what I am trying to do:-
I want to create a work item in Azure DevOps when an email arrives in my inbox. If the email has an attachment, I want to save that attachment in the SharePoint site folder, retrieve the link of the created file, and update the work item description with the file link.
I have created the flow but when testing, here is what the exception is coming
I am sending this email from Gmail to my organization account. I have researched this problem in existing threads at the Power Automate community as well, but nothing seems to be fit as a potential solution to this problem. Your help in this regarding is highly appreciated.
Thanks.
I resolved this issue by creating a new flow, in this case, please make sure, you are updating the configuration of outlook email to say "Include Attachments" - "yes".
Please refer to screenshot below
If you will not include it, it will be treated as null, when you will be trying to create a file at SharePoint using power automate.
Hope this helps everyone.
Thanks,

We have couple excel files are used by several departments, and we would like to track on user and saved time. excel can read some info, but not accurate if the file got recovered.
For these files, they can be updated, then got recovered to prior version. There is a need to share all info upon time and user that saved the file in the last month.
Is it achievable by using powershell codes ?
Thank you for your time in advance.

I'm trying to sync calendar appointments between two different calendar systems (Outlook 2007 and Lotus Notes) for a shared office with shared meeting rooms, and my current idea is to have something scheduled that exports the calendar from a shared folder in outlook to an iCalendar file (.ics) which is then mailed to the notes server and imported.
I'm having trouble finding an answer to the first half of the equation though - how to schedule a powershell script or similar that will export the shared folder's calendar and send by email.
Has anybody done this, or would anybody suggest an alternative? It needs to be automated, so that the calendars can sync regularly throughout the day.

You can use the CalendarSharing object to export a specified calendar to an .ics file: https://msdn.microsoft.com/EN-US/library/ff863593.aspx
However, automating this can be tricky. You cannot use the Outlook Object Model in the Task Scheduler or in a Windows Service: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/237913
So you'd have to use Extended MAPI with C++, or use a third-party library like Redemption - both of which can be run in a service.
I have a mailbox in Outlook. For example ("some_name#a_web_address.com").
The mailbox has many folders and subfolders that contain emails (7 main folders and for example, 1 main folder has 97 subfolders with subfolders).
This setup is not ideal, I understand. But I am looking for a way to count the emails in this mailbox by month and year. For example, a grand total of 500 emails in "some_name#a_web_address.com" for January, 2015. I hope that makes sense.
Is this possible? I am able to create a count for 1 folder at a time. But with so many folders, it is very time consuming. I appreciate any assistance. Many Thanks - Jwal45
The most easiest way is to create Search folders in Outlook. See Create a Search Folder for more information.
Also you may consider developing a VBA macro or add-in where you can filter items according to your conditons. The Find/FindNext or Restrict methods of the Items class from the Outlook object model do the trick.
But the most powerful and reliable search is using the AdvancedSearch method of the Application class. See Advanced search in Outlook programmatically: C#, VB.NET for more information.
Finally, you may find the Getting Started with VBA in Outlook 2010 article in MSDN helpful.
friends,
I have a Macro enabled excel file. How and where I can upload my Xlsm file and do the updation. I mean, I want my HR people to do the updation on regular basis on this XlSM file from the branch office and myself want to see the updated XLSM file at my Head office. Is there any way for that? I think Google docs cannot be possible.
thanks in adavance.
you may use database as a place that will store data. Your remote HR fill in excel tables then upload it to database (Access or MySQL or whatever) then you can download it wherever you are - this method requires writing macro that use ADO component - there is planty of tutorials about it.
