Adding ActionableMessages in an Outlook calendar appointment/meeting request

Question

Hi, is it possible to render an ActionableMessage in the body of an Outlook appointment?

Using the GraphAPI, I'd like to generate an appointment/meeting request to users that has an ActionableMessage in the body with a few buttons on it.

When I send a regular email to users, the ActionableMessage renders correctly however, when I send an appointment/meeting request with the same body content, the ActionableMessage does not render.

Thanks!

Hi,Outlook appointments works not the same as email message and is not intended for ActionableMessage. As you point out, the rendering can be different. Furthermore, there are some potential security and user accessibility risks associated with the idea.

Asku_1&nbsp;Thanks for the response and its good to know the behaviour I am seeing is expected. So, just to confirm - Outlook calendar appointments don't render ActionableMessages at all?&nbsp;Also, out of curiosity and just for our understanding, what is an example of a security risk with using ActionableMessages in calendar appointments or meeting requests as opposed to them appearing in an email message?
