Example: Consider an example where the "Update Event" activity is used to change the name and description of an event named "Team Meeting" in the "Work Calendar" with updated details:
Update Event:
Display Name: "Update Team Meeting Event"
Calendar Name: "Work Calendar"
Event Name: "Team Meeting"
Update Event Name: "Updated Team Meeting"
Update Description: "Updated description for the team meeting."
Time Zone: "UTC"
Update Start Time: "2023-01-01 08:00:00"
Update End Time: "2023-01-01 09:00:00"
Attendee List: "user1@example.com,user2@example.com"
In this example, the activity updates the "Team Meeting" event in the "Work Calendar" with the new name "Updated Team Meeting," an updated description, and modified start and end times. It also adds user1@example.com and user2@example.com as attendees to the event.
