Accept & Do Not Send a Response
- Jul 25, 2019
What's the status of this change to allow for tracking the response if the user selects "Accept Do Not Send a response"?
Thank you - Jack
Yes to both. I believe both changes would be very welcome. Usually, when an organizer does not request a response, it is because it is sent to a large audience, so makes sense for no email reply.

Hi all, Thank you for your patience and your responses on this feature. We really value your feedback, and we've made very good progress on changing the way that responses work. As you can imagine, it's quite a large undertaking given the number of clients, protocols, and configurations that can exist across Exchange, Outlook, and 3rd party services.
We're excited to let you know that the first release is out! When you respond to a meeting using Outlook the web, iOS, or Android, the organizer's tracking list will be updated even if you choose not to send an email response.
There are a few notes to this initial release:
- This only works today if you and the organizer are in the same organization, and both of you are hosted in Office 365. It does not yet work for meeting invitations across organizations.
- If you respond to the meeting (or change your existing response) using Outlook on Windows or Mac, the organizer's tracking list will not be updated.
- This only applies to meetings where responses were requested. If the organizer chose NOT to request responses, their tracking list will not be updated regardless of which client you use to respond.
Please feel free to direct message me if you have any questions. I'll continue to keep this forum updated as we release subsequent updates.
Thanks,
--Julia

Is there any ETA on phase 2 (or 3 or whatever) as to when it will work in the Outlook 365 desktop clients?

Hi Mike,
The next client will be Outlook for Mac, but we do not have an exact timeline yet.
