Get your Make webhook URL

On your form, go to the automations menu on the top right of the form builder. Create a new automation by
Giving it a name

Configure your Outlook invitation
Add a new "Create an event" module from "Microsoft 365 Calendar", after the variables module
Authenticate your Microsoft account. That account will be considered as Sender for the invitations
Enter the previously created variables for start date, end date & attendees fields
Enter the email subject & body
You are now ready to send outlook invitations through Daxium-Air.
Pushing the outlook event id back to the submission
If you wish to manage event cancellation, you'll need the outlook event id created when sending the invitation. Below, we will explain how to store it in a (hidden) text field in your submission
Add a new "Daxium-Air" module after the "Microsoft 365 Calendar" one, and authenticate with your Daxium-Air admin account, and the API Keys generated at the beginning of this tutorial
You can then configure your Daxium API call to update the submission with the outlook event id returned by the previous module
