Deleting Outlook Calendar Events with Graph API without notifying attendees

Is it possible to delete events using the Graph API in a manner that does not notify attendees? An automation is in place that creates a recurring event using the API, but there are instances when a specific day in that series should not be created.

The intention is to delete that particular event after the series is created, while avoiding any notifications to attendees to prevent confusion.

    Hello Jack Gaunt,

    Thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Support!! Apologies for the inconvenience caused.

    While deleting events using the Graph API, attendees will be notified and unfortunately there is no way of deleting events without notifying the attendees.

    You can submit this feature request using this support link, which will be monitored by Microsoft team and make the enhancements to Graph API.

    Possible work around might be updating the particular event which is intended to delete by removing all the attendees. This way the deletion might not trigger notification to attendees.

    Hope this helps.
