Office 365 (Apple iCal/Calendar) - Invite a non-Office365 Attendee

Best Effort Support Only

This document contains instructions on using a non-Microsoft email client, such as Apple Mail or Thunderbird. Microsoft does not recommend these clients for use with Office 365, and there are often significant limitations in client functionality as a result. Because of this, the DoIT Help Desk is only able to offer best effort support for these clients, and certain issues may require the use of a Microsoft client in order to be resolved. For more information on Office 365 client support, please see: Office 365 - Which clients/protocols will be supported?.

Invite a non-Office 365 Attendee

There are several ways you can invite someone to the event. These steps are also available when you first create an event.

• In iCal/Calendar, double-click the event to which you want to invite people and the Info window will open (or from the menubar select Edit -> Edit Event or Get Info).
• Type email address and/or name
  • Click Add Invitees and type the email address for the person you want to invite.

    

  • If you’re inviting someone whose contact information is stored in Address Book start typing the person’s name. iCal/Calendar provides a list of contacts.
  • Select the contact you want, and then press Return to select it.
• Use Address Panel
  • Choose Window -> Address Panel to open the Address panel.

    

  • Select one or more contacts in the Address panel, and then drag them over the open event editor.
• To invite more than one person, press Return (or type a comma) after each email address, and then follow either of the two steps above.
• To remove a person from the invitees list, click the arrow next to the email address and choose Remove Invitee, or select the email address and press the Delete key.
• When you’re ready to invite these guests to your event, click the Send button at the bottom of the event editor.
