ics not updating organizer calendar

Question

I am writing an application that will send out .ics files to be interpreted mainly by outlook. When my applications sends an update, it will successfully update everyone\'s cale

Answer 1

So, you guys are correct and this is expected behavior. I tried adding the organiser as an attendee and ended up running into problems when I tried to create an event cancellation. The organiser would receive the email but be unable to remove from calendar because they were recognized as the organizer.

I ended up abandoning using ICS files and instead started using a library that communicates through Exchange Web Services. EWS allowed me to simulate creating a meeting on someone's calendar through an API and then adding attendees just like I created the meeting in Outlook. Specifically, I was using python so I started using Exchangelib.

I wanted to put an answer to this question for anyone else that may stumble upon this.
