How can I avoid receiving responses from invitees?

There are two types of calendar entries that support the "Do not receive responses from invitees" option: Meetings and Event Announcements. For Event Announcements, this option is always selected and cannot be deselected. and the Meetings, you can always have a option to select it.

Event Announcement

Before you begin

Tip: If sending a meeting invitation to a very large number of invitees, consider selecting this option. This makes the meeting invitation a broadcast invitation and, instead of responding, invitees have the option to add the meeting to their calendars or not.

Procedure

  1. From your calendar, click New dropdown.
  2. Select Event Announcement.
  3. Enter the Subject.
  4. Fill-in the invitees.
  5. The Do not receive responses from invitees, Prevent counter-proposals, and Prevent delegation options are automatically selected and cannot be deselected.
  6. Click Save and Send invitation.
