With the old Nylas Cal sync, I was able to set up the cal sync config (shared below) to effectively do the following:
- two-way sync for any activity that was created in Pipedrive
- one-way sync for events that originated in Office365 (Office --> PD).
The benefit of this approach is that I don't have to manually enter/replicate Office365 events into PD. And, I just have to delete the noise (random company event invites) out of PD. Since those events are tagged as "Outlook" and I am NOT syncing the "Outlook" tag back to Office365 (notice the unchecked Outlook tag in the bottom section), a deletion or edit of an Office365 event doesn't propagate back.
BUG: This was working well for me until Pipedrive switched me to the new in-house Cal Sync. Now, when I delete an activity in PD, it sends a cancellation to the people on the Office365 invite (BAD BUG). This means, if I delete an activity out of PD, every guest on that event gets a cancellation notice -- even though the event originated in Office365 (tagged with an "Outlook" tag) and I am not syncing PD changes back to Offce365 for "Outlook" tagged events. Since I work for a large company, I now run the risk of email-bombing 1000's of people!
Is anyone else leveraging PD Cal Sync in this way and running into this bug?
I have a support ticket on-going, but the rep is telling me that is expected behavior (though, I'm trying to explain that it's a bug -- PD should not be sending cancellation notices for activities I have tagged with "Outlook").
