Preamble
- To create a recurring event, refer to this other guide.

Add participants to the event
To invite users, add their name or email address when creating the event or afterward:
You will be notified of their attendance or refusal if they follow the procedure sent by email when the event is created.
Any update to a scheduled event is also sent by email to all participants.
Automatically find the best time for all participants
Before creating the event and thus before invitations are sent to participants, it is possible to determine the best time that suits everyone based on each person's availability (e.g., other appointments in their calendars):
- Click here to access the web app Calendar Infomaniak (online service calendar.infomaniak.com).
- Click on the More button at the top left of the interface to create a New event.
- Choose a date and time that would work for you for the event.
- Add the participants.
- Click on the dropdown menu below the participants to find the earliest available time for all participants closest to the initially desired time:
In the example above, 10 am is not suitable for a one-hour appointment because Jean Dupont already has a scheduled appointment in his calendar at 10:45 am so the system suggests 11:45 am, the closest time when all participants will be available.
An asterisk *
next to a participant means that the user's availability is unknown because…
- … or the invited person's email address is not an Infomaniak user: no user account exists with the specified email address…
- … or the invited person does not share their availability: they do not share their calendar at least in read mode with the event organizer or have not transferred their calendar into at least one of the organizer's Organizations…
