Hi! I tried following the video tutorial to utilize Microsoft graph to see if I can create an event in the user's calendar but my current action fails with the following message: Run anoopt/ms-graph-create-event-msal@v1 ⌛ Getting access token... ✅ Got access token ⌛ Getting Graph client... ✅ Got Graph client ⌛ Creating event... Error: 🚨 Error in createEvent function. Error: Error Error: Error

this is my current yml setup: `name: MS Graph Event

I have registered an application on Azure AD and configured my client id and secrets following the instructions found here: https://github.com/anoopt/ms-graph-create-event-msal

I would like to add a blog in addition to the documentation, to paint a better picture on all these variables required: https://anoopt.medium.com/github-actions-create-an-event-with-microsoft-graph-using-msal-ee7aa7b49dc7

Hello all, please see pull request #834 for this issue.

The current working action as outlined in the pull request follows these sequence of steps: 1) User assigns themselves to an issue 2) The action triggers a workflow run, and gets the following information : Issue title, assigned date, username 3) The action appends a comment automatically with a Google Calendar Link that will have the issue's title, a tentative due date for the issue (3 weeks from assignment) 4) The user then follows the link to create an event in their perspective calendars. 5) The user is free to modify the due date and when they would like to be reminded
