Unless you get a specific "I need you to be here, will you be?" note from someone, pretty much no one here responds to meeting invites. (God, given the number of meetings I need to attend/ hold, it would be annoying if people did!) They're simply notifications and location reminders.
Don't show and should have? Someone will ding you for it.
But he accepted. He just didn't send....ta da...a response.
But if he accepted, then you know he's coming, right? I'm not following what the response is for, or maybe I'm not understanding the process of "accepting" correctly.
We do our meetings on Outlook and I get an accept or decline response. I don't need anything beyond that. I don't get how you know he accepted at all, if you didn't get that response.
But if he accepted, then you know he's coming, right?
No. That's my entire point. You can accept without sending me a response. So I, as meeting organiser, know
nothing
about it. All it does is fill in your calendar. Doesn't tell me anything, doesn't fill in the tracking screen. Same number of mouse clicks...FOUR people in the meeting, you're the whole point. Yes, I want to know.
But if he accepted, then you know he's coming, right?
I called him and asked him if he was coming, that's how. That's how he made me waste my free phone time.

Oh, I get it now. I'm Outlook-challenged, because I don't ever use it.

That's weird, mine fills in the tracking once you accept (or decline or whatever), it just doesn't clutter the Inbox with a jillion responses.
The alternative is that people have consistently been lying to me about accepting my meeting invites without responses, but I check their calendars--the blocks of time of the meeting are now filled in. Just that tracking lists them as "None". Always has.
Yeah, I only get the "send a response y/n?" thing if im declining (at which point I might write back that I'm on vacation that day or whatever--and if it's a one on one meeting suggest a different time)
