Using Outlook Meeting to add attendees

[acmorgan12]

I have tried testing the functionality of using Concur to populate the attendees from an Outlook and a Teams meeting, and have not had luck. The feature is turned on in our administration settings. However, it only pulls 1 page of the meeting invite and posts it as a receipt. No attendee list to be found. Has anyone had success using this feature?

@acmorgan12 that feature was, as we call it, "sunsetted" with our NextGen UI. I believe the feature wasn't used all that much to warrant having it in the new UI.

Hey Kevin, tbh I didn't know that feature used to exist until I searched for it.  Do you know if there are any discussions to bring it back? Seems like such a perfect solution to manually having to key a list of 58 associates in as attendees.

@cmakai I've not heard of any discussions. Most likely it was done away with due to low usage. Many times when a feature goes away, it was because it wasn't being used much.

Hello,

@KevinD, the feature of adding the address receipts@concur.com in the outlook meeting is not working anymore on Concur Production? Correct?

[KevinD]

@AlineMONTAIN that feature was sunsetted with the launch of our new UI back in October of 2022.

THank you for your reply.
Do you know what is the best practice to easily add attendees to a business meal from a meeting?

I try with the mobile to add attendes from outlook calendar but only one attendee is updated as attendee not all from the meeting.

Is it a bug or customizing?

Hello @acmorgan12  and @AlineMONTAIN! I came across your post recently, and I wanted to share some information with you regarding the Attendees from Outlook topic. There is an open CIP (Customer Influence Improvement Request) open expressing the desire to have this feature brought back or something similar. If this is still something you are interested in, please consider voting on this. Request ID: 311745 .

Additionally, for SAP Concur Mobile,  we will be rolling out a similar function that will allow users to sync their native calendars to add Attendees. This is currently available for Standard edition of Concur and will be available for Professional in a future release.  You can read more about it here: Redesign of Attendee Feature. I hope this information is helpful to you!

@asansolo Thanks for sharing about the Improvement request. My vote is in!
