First steps #
Firstly Ensure that you are on ‘GAT Flow’ by selecting the Flow tool from the drop-down panel on the top left corner.
You can now create an event workflow by selecting ‘Create Workflow’ on the side panel.
Workflow Type #
Then in the ‘Workflow Type’ section select a ‘Name’ for your Flow event, in this case, we shall call it ‘Bulk Calendar Add’.
Then select the ‘Type’ of action you need from the drop-down bar, for this example, we will ‘Modify’.
Click ‘Next’ to proceed.
Search For User #
Now that you are in the ‘Search for a user’ section you can select users by searching by user email, group, or OU.
In this example, we will search multiple users by their email, After doing so move onto the final section by selecting ‘Proceed to actions’.
