Meeting invite send to Dynamic Distribution group , new starters do not have the calender invite.

Hi Team ,

We have a reoccurring meeting for 6 months that is send to a dynamic distribution group.

When new users start to the company they are added automatically to dynamic group as per the syntax on the DDL group.

They do not seem to have the calendar invite on their calendar.

It may be a silly question but I would like to hear an answer or a workaround if there is any.

Many thanks
Doboman

Hi @Doboman

Do you mean the dynamic distribute group member cannot receive the meeting invitation in Teams client?

Have you tried to login Teams web client to see if this issue can be reproduced?

no ,
I think this happens to any DL .
Say you send an outlook invitation to DL & has it repeat every month.
As the invitation is already send out , when new staff is added to the DL they don't have a that invitation.
Is there way around this or do you have to keep resending the invitation ?

Thanks for your clarify! In this case, you shoud resend the meeting invite to add them.

Have there been any solutions added since this last chat comment? The problem with re-sending invites is that it floods all the inboxes of existing people whenever I add new people - which is weekly. As it is now, I can't use Dynamic Distribution List (DDL) for Calendar Invites, and will have to add users manually to the invite so updates only go to affected users. Any guidance you have will be appreciated as I wish the DDL could automatically update and only new users would be invited to the recurring meeting series. Thanks,
