Stop receiving email notifications of people responses for some events

is there a way to have new meetings default to the Request Responses box as unchecked?

Hi Ibhadighi

So glad I found this thread. You have saved our shared mailbox being flooded with accept/decline request.

Many Thanks

Hello Andres,

Yes, that's correct. Unchecking "Request Responses" will stop you from receiving email notifications each time someone responds, but it does not prevent invitees from responding to the event. You will still be able to see their responses in the event details on your Outlook calendar. The main change is simply that you won't get an email notification for each response.

Thanks, Ibhadighi,

Just to double-check: If I uncheck Request Responses, the only change is that I will stop receiving notifications?

I always interpreted that option as not asking the invitees to mark whether they will attend. If I uncheck, they will still have the option to respond, I will still be able to see which responses they have given, but just not receive an email each time?

Best,

Hello Andres,

I'm Ibhadighi and I'd happily help you with your question. In this forum, we are Microsoft consumers just like yourself.

Yes, in Outlook, you can turn off response notifications for individual meetings:

1. When you create a new meeting invite, go to the "Response Options" on the Meeting tab.
2. Uncheck "Request Responses" to stop receiving email notifications when people respond to that invite.
3. If you've already sent the invite, open the meeting from your calendar, click on "Response Options," and adjust the settings.

Remember to do this for each seminar or large event where you don't want to receive response notifications. This won't affect your settings for other meetings.

I hope this helps.

Best Regards, Ibhadighi
