Ability to update or create an event without sending a notification email to attendees

This is an essential from a developer point of view, the fact that EWS supports this but graph does not is baffling.

This is still a problem and while Microsoft keeps pushing their new APIs and we have no other option but to migrate to MsGraph, nothing seems to be done at managing many of the concerns of smaller business customers.

And while MS pushes their new O365 products, they are careful to not even touch any of the pre-existing designs of all the new web-based clients. For the end user, everything looks the same as before, as if their outlook client only had some minor cosmetic touch-ups. So if anything that worked previously regarding interfacing with other products, doesn't work anymore, it is of course us who get all the pushback.

I keep seeing the same pattern:

Common issues adressed by customers and their clients are ignored for many years and you never even see any statement of a Microsoft representative acknowleding the issue or adressing it in any way.

This particular issue affects two of our Office integrations:

• Creation of Calendar Events for online meetings (which of course contains Attendee data, but we now have to scrap it before going live with this feature)
• Synching/Migration of calendar data (Why the heck would we want to spam the user with invatations of events years in the past)

How many years do have to pass or how many upvotes does an issue need, before there's any response by a Microsoft representative?

still critical!!! Causing a huge amount of headaches

Very surprised this isn't an option - please add as a matter of priority - I see the original request on here was from 2 years ago!

Hello,

We are migrating and we would like to recreate events without spamming the mailboxes of employees.

Thanks

upvoting - heavily requested feature from our users

Hi,

I'd like to add my voice to those requesting this feature. We need to create calendar events on behalf of our users, and Exchange/M365 automatically sending out email invitations causes confusion. This should not be a difficult feature to implement, please consider this enhancement.

Hello,

The feature is still need.

Thanks

Hi.

Yes, this is a feature we also need. 
Having the ability to switch off the notifications is very important to us when importing calendars.
Definitely don't want to spam our users.

Google allows us to switch off the notifications, so we can provide this to users.
But I don't feel comfortable integrating Microsoft until this is added. 

Please add this feature, or let us know if we can help👍🏻

Thanks
Jaaki
 

Hi, we also need that feature if you can make it happen
