Calendar to send invites from a generic email address
I've basically set up a shared mailbox called meetings@... The intention is to use its calandar to book meetings for various groups in our club membership and to have one central area where a tea...
- Open the shared mailbox calendar in your Outlook, create the meeting invite therein (disregard the address shown in From). Assuming you have the necessary permissions, the invite will be created on behalf of the shared mailbox.
If you have Full access permissions on the mailbox, configure it as additional account in Outlook, which will expose the full functionality, including being able to select its address in the From dropdown.
And a workaround - create the invite as ICS file, attach it to a regular message you can Send As.
You have two options for doing this. You can open a shared account and schedule the meetings from there. The main thing to be aware of with this option is that all invites will be on one shared calendar. If you want different people to be able to schedule meetings for themselves but all the calendar invites come from the same From email address i.e. meetings@ or support@ you need to set up smtp to route the emails accordingly or use Salepager which can route outlook invites from a common from address.
