What is the id in PATCH /me/events/{id}

Question

I would like to update or forward an invite. Please clarify what is the id in the HTTP request for both updat event and forward event api.

1. Update event - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/event-update?view=graph-rest-
   1.0&tabs=http#http-request
   Should we pass iCALId? like this?
   "iCalUId": "iCalUId-value",
2. Forward event - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/event-forward?view=graph-rest-1.0&tabs=http

Is this event id ("id":"AAMkAGI1AAAt9AHjAAA=",)created while using create event api?

Answer 1

Hello @Krishnalakshmi Viswanathan (AWF) thank you for reaching out. You are correct, the event id is a read-only value created when the event is created either via API or the client. From the event resource properties, iCalUId is a unique identifier for an event across calendars. This ID is different for each occurrence in a recurring series. To update or forward the event, you should use the id in the request url - then pass the iCalUId in the request body to make changes to one event in a series.

Please also consider upvoting the answer if it helps and feel free to reach out with any questions,

Diana.

Out of these, which one should be used to update/forward an invite

POST /me/events/{id}/forward - For the signed in user ?
POST /users/{id | userPrincipalName}/events/{id}/forward - ? Is this userId and how should we get this ID
POST /groups/{id}/events/{id}/forward - ? Is this userId and how should we get this ID

Is it possible to update an invite which is sent by some one using graph api?
