Can I update the email body when deleting the event?

Question

I am using this method to delete the event, but I don’t see the possibility of updating the email body upon deletion. Is this correct?

String url = String.format("https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users/%s/calendar/events/%s",
        event.getOrganizerEmail(), event.getOnlineMeetingId());

HttpHeaders headers = new HttpHeaders();
headers.set("Authorization", "Bearer " + auth);
headers.set("Content-Type", "application/json");

HttpEntity<String> request = new HttpEntity<>(null, headers);

try {
    ResponseEntity<Void> response = restTemplate.exchange(url, HttpMethod.DELETE, request, Void.class);

Hello Julián José López Arellano,

Thank you for reaching out to Microsoft!

Yes, you are correct. The provided JavaScript code is focused on deleting the event using the Microsoft Graph API. The HTTP DELETE request send to Graph API endpoint will remove the event from the calendar, but it does not provide an option to update the email body of the cancellation notification.

To send a custom email notification upon event deletion, you would need to manually send an email with the updated content.

Hope this helps.

Hello Julián José López Arellano,

Thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Support!

According to the documentation, when deleting the event, If the event is a meeting, deleting the event on the organizer's calendar sends a cancellation message to the meeting attendees. This message is sent by default.

Adding a request body is not supported when the delete request is sent, so the message content cannot be changed when the event is deleted.

Hope this helps.
