Sugar Connect <-> Google Calendar (workspace) | Email triggered when updating Sugar Meeting

Hello folks,

Not sure if there is a solution for this but interested if anyone else has the same thing happening? Well, I guess it happens for everyone so what I really mean is does it annoy anyone else?


In Google Calendar:

  • edit an event
  • prompt appears to either send an update email to attendees or not to.

In a Sugar Meeting Synced with Google Calendar

The field with data-name = "description" is the one which sycs with Google calendar's Description.
(we actually renamed this fields label years ago, but by default it is 'descrition' field)

  • Edit theDescription field in Sugar
  • Await the next Sugar Connect Sync time (every 15-20mins)
  • Any meeting recipients will get the email from the google cal event.  Point left   but we don't want them to!

The easy solution...  users never update that field in Sugar meeting records.  I could lock it down in Roles, rename it etc...

Before that - just wondering if there's another way?  Maybe it's a google setting (which I have not yet found?)

The reason it is irritating my users is after a meeting they update the meeting record, but this triggers the email from google cal.

Luckily - nobody has yet written anything they would rather not have done

Thank you for any top tips...

Luke.
