Issue with notify_participants not sending invites on Outlook Calendar

I’m using the Events API to create a calendar event with multiple participants. The connected calendar provider is Outlook.

Here’s the problem:

  • I’m setting notify_participants: true.
  • The event gets created in the organizer’s calendar.
  • But no invites/emails are sent to the participants.

Interestingly, when I switch to Google Calendar as the provider, it works as expected—participants receive the invite emails.

Is this a known limitation with Outlook, or am I missing something? Would appreciate any insights or workarounds!

Hi @rishikesh - this flag is not supported by Outlook (or iCloud).

A notification should be sent out for all Outlook users by default. Can you share a code sample as reproduction steps?
