Get Common Id for Meeting Event

Question

Hi,

As part of my task I want to save meeting Id into database to do some functionality. So, the problem now is "event Id" returning from get api (GET /me/calendar/events) are different for each user(attendees) to fetch a same meeting event. For example meeting event created with 4 people, so for these 4 user the event id's are different when they are calling get all api to get their own meeting.

I'm looking for some common Id or any other fields for the event that will not be different based on the user(attendees). Please let me know if anyone know anything, and let me know if I'm not able to make myself clear.

Thanks in Advance.

Hi @Dipika Das ,

As per the event resource type documentation, the value changes when the item is moved from one to another mailbox.

Alternatively using the same endpoint, you can get iCalUid. The iCalUId returned by the Calendar event resource type in Microsoft Graph is defined as a unique, read-only identifier that is shared by all instances of an event across different calendars.
Please refer to the documents for more details on iCalUID:

Hope this helps,
