Note

In order to send an invitation to attendees of the Contact type, the to-do must contain an attachment. The Send Invitation option is not available for a meeting organizer. An invitation can only be sent to the attendees who have an email address. You can add or edit an attendee's email address in the Salesperson/Purchaser Card or Contact Card window. When an invitation is sent, the Invitation Sent field is updated for each attendee. A log is created in the Interaction Log Entries table for all attendees of the type Contact to whom invitations were sent. Customized text is sent to attendees of the Salesperson type. The message includes information about the meeting time and location. You cannot modify the message.
