Hi to everyone,
I'm triyng to create a calendar event with a reminder setted from the present time + N minutes.
When I set start time->relative->+N minutes the reminder is setted BEFORE the event and not after.

I have problem to understand the grammar of the absolute time in the reminder section, thank you!

Umm, it works as it should be, right? Reminder should happen before the calendar event.
Example : Current time is 10:00, you set for 1 hour relative to now. Means the calendar event start at 11:00, let's say for 30 minutes, so 11.00-11.30

Add reminder 10m, means 10 minutes before 11.00. The calendar reminder will appear at 10:50.
If reminder appear after the event (11.10), you would have missed the event.

If what you means is to trigger flow 10 minutes after the calendar event, it is done using the trigger Calendar Event, set Trigger at Event Start - After 10m.

Absolute time means the time is fixed at certain date time, not relative to the time you set it. But still can be set relative to now, by adding triggertime to to certain time range.
Basically absolute time let you set the calendar event using variable that you have set before. You can set a fix date such as getDate("4/1/2018 13:00","dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm")

Thank you Desmanto,
I have a lot of problem with english, it's really hard to me to explain.
So, forget about reminders and triggers.
All I need is to perform in a flow an action wich create a calendar event in the future,
which should start at present time + N minutes.

So, on the create calendar event action ,if I set the relative start time with "1m" value, and duration "all day" it seems to create an event
wich start at 12:00 of the present day by default, and not at present time +1 minute.
I've tried to set the duration time on "8h 0m" (just to try) and set the start time at "0h 1m" and this way it seems to work.
I mean: it create an event at present time +1 minute.
That is what I wanted to do.
The reminder time is set to "0" so the notification stars at the same time of the calendar event.

Thank you!

Just make sure you don't tick the All Day checkbox. All Day event will always start at the beginning of the day and last the whole day (00.00-23.59). If you need to create a event 1 minute from now and last for 24 hours starting from the event, you should put
Start/End Type : Relative
Start in : 1m
Duration : 1d

Which mean if current time is 10:00. The event will be on 10:01 until tomorrow 10:01. In this case, you most likely don't need any reminder, as it is going to happen soon.

In my case I need a reminder 7 hours from the present time so my set is :

Start/End Type : Relative
Start in : 7h 0m
Duration : 8h
Reminder: 0m

and it works.
Thanks again!
