Selectivly invite attendees to Group calendar event
We need the ability to add events to a Group calendar where only selected people are invited and notified.
The current ability to create Group calendar appointments is a step forward but not good enough. As soon as someone is invited, it changes from an appointment to an event that then sends a notification to all group members – whether subscribed to the Group or not!
DESIRED FUNCTIONALITY
- Ability to deselect Group members from a Group calendar event
- Ability to add invitees to event where only invitees are notified – either group members or non-group individuals
- Maintain ability for all Group members to see event in Group calendar and add to their calendar if desired
DESIRED EXPERIANCE
EVENT CREATION
-- Create new event in Group calendar
-- Choose not to notify/invite group members
-- Add specific individuals – either group members or non-group individualsEVENT INVITEES
-- Named invitees receive invite in their inboxGROUP MEMBERS NOT SPECIFICALLY INVITED
-- Do not receive a notification of the event in inbox
-- Can see event in Group calendar
-- Can edit event in Group calendar
-- Can add Group event to personal calendar
BONUS EXPERIANCE CHANGE
If the Group notification remains checked for the event, only send the invite to the Group members inbox if they subscribe to the Group i.e. treat calendar notifications the same as Group conversations

This is preventing us from migrating to the Office 365 calendar.

This is a major issue preventing the deployment of groups in our organization.

It's sad to see that this isn't already implemented.
