Updates to meetings made by a delegate user are now sent in the name of the principal
In many organizations, executives and senior leaders rely on admins or delegates to oversee their busy schedules. In Google Calendar this can be set up by sharing an executive’s calendar with “Make changes to events” or “Make changes and manage sharing” permissions with a delegate user.
We’re updating how meeting notifications are handled when someone manages a calendar on behalf of another user: Previously, initial invitations created by the delegate appeared to come from the principal, but subsequent updates or cancellations were sent from the delegate’s email.
To provide a more consistent experience for meeting participants, all event-related emails — including cancellations and modifications — will now come from the principal. This change ensures seamless calendar management and prevents confusion for guests who may be unfamiliar with the delegate acting on the principal's behalf.
