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