Add option to disable calendar event from organiser confirmation email #16816

Open duburcqa opened 2 months ago

Is your proposal related to a problem?

I'm using the CalDav service that is currently in beta to connect my calendar. I have specified my personal email for organiser for the event. When someone books a slot, it appears automatically in my calendar and I receive a confirmation email. So far so good. However, this confirmation email contains a calendar event. If I accept this event instead of just deleting this email, then I end up with two events in my calendar referring to the same booking. For some reason, it is not able to understand that it both are the same and the event is already booked when I receive the email.

Describe the solution you'd like

I suggest adding one more option in "advanced settings" that would allow for disabling the calendar event included in the confirmation mail that is sent to the organiser.

Describe alternatives you've considered

I try to create a workflow that send emails to the attendes but the host, and apparently it is not possible. One has to choose between all attendees or only the host, which is not solving the issue.

My issue and associated feature request seems to be related to this issue: https://github.com/calcom/cal.com/issues/9485

Fixing the event UID issue would avoid having to implement the workaround I suggest since my calendar should detect automatically that both events are the same.
