    Is there a way to use conditional formatting to identify meetings where one or more attendees has not accepted the meeting invite?
    • To post as a guest, your comment is unpublished.
      As you might already know, we can use the conditional formatting option to show us when WE have accepted a meeting, why shouldn't we be able to code it the other way around? People who schedule a lot of meetings, like me, want to see at a glance those meetings that are good to go and those where people have not yet responded. Is it possible to write a script for this? Does anyone know? I need/want this capability.

        Hi Kat, have you managed to find a solution to this? It would be so helpful.

      Hi Jake,
      I am afraid you can check the responses to your meeting invitation only by opening the specified meeting and clicking Meeting > Tracking > View Tracking Status.
