Microsoft Teams Invites not showing up in Gmail
- Sep 29, 2020
Interestingly, I've just tested this myself and found the same thing happened. I received the email invite to my Gmail account, but no calendar item was included.

cld025 I've been having the same issue, whereas other members of my team also using Gmail do not. I asked the sender to add a "+label" to my email address in the invite, which appears to have fixed it. I'm guessing whatever was wrong was cached, tied to my email address; adding a "+label" makes it look like a different address and so avoids the issue.
If you aren't familiar, you can add "+anything" to a gmail email address, just before the "@" sign, and the email will still be delivered to the original address. For example, if your email address is "example@gmail.com", any email sent to "example+test@gmail.com" will also be delivered to your inbox. This is useful if you want label certain emails in gmail, or track who is sharing your email address, etc. This also works if you have Google for Domains, and you get your mail via the GMail web interface, but without a gmail address. For example, "user@example.com" and "user+test@example.com" are equivalent.
Hi there, I have been having the same problem and adding "+test" fixes it... so thanks for that.
Ideally I don't want to have to ask organisers to add a label to all invites, so where is the caching error? With Gmail or Microsoft? I'd like to be able to clear this out to fix it properly.
Thanks
