How to create automatic accepted event response in Outlook Calendar?

Question

Dear Anyone :)

I work for a company that uses Calendar for FYI events and follows certain rules for accepting events with specific summaries. I want to know how to automatically send a " accepted " response for a free event with a specific summary. I know I can use conditions of 'calendar event' and 'body', but how can I send a response action? Can anyone suggest a solution in Microsoft tools or external automation tools like Node-red? Thank you in advance for your help!

best: Peter

To automatically send an "accepted" response with a specific summary activity, it is recommended that you create a rule with a specific response template. Here are the steps:

1.Create a Template: Before setting the rule, create a template for your response. Go to Home > New Email. Write your “accepted” response and save it as a template by clicking File > Save As and choosing Outlook Template.

2.Create a Rule: Go to Home > Rules > Manage Rules & Alerts. >Click on New Rule. >Select Apply rule on messages I receive and click Next. >Set conditions to match the event details, such as specific words in the subject or body.>Click Next and choose Reply using a specific template.
