Does Outlook still have a "Automatic accept or decline" function?

Question

Hello! My team and I were just issued new Outlook emails by our employer. I am trying to set up some rules for emails, specifically any that include calendar invites. I know in the past that Outlook Calendar had an "Automatic accept or decline" settings where you could automatically accept or decline calendar invites in emails. However, I noticed that this function does not seem to be in the current version, at least when I checked. Does the current version of Outlook have an Automatic accept or decline setting, or an equivalent? And if it is possible to adjust these settings, can it be done via the browser version of Outlook, or do we need to separate Desktop app? Thanks!

Hi @Ryan Togioka

Welcome to our forum!

Currently there is no Automatic accept or decline feature in New Outlook. This option is available in the classic version.

Please kindly understand that many functions are not designed at present. To get this feature more quickly, I have found a post in feedback collection website, and you could vote for it. Many features of our current products are designed and upgraded based on customers’ feedback. You can also make suggestions on that website and hope Microsoft will notice this in the future. Thank you for your understanding and support.
