##### Turn off event responses

After you set up your Outlook Calendar integration, you might get a high volume of emails from Outlook Calendar for RSVP responses to your event.

To turn off event response emails for all events:

01. Go to Outlook Calendar.  
02. Click on the settings icon in the top right.  
03. Go to **Mail**.  
04. Go to **Rules**.  
05. Click **Add new rule**.  
06. Name your rule, like "Turn off automatic event responses".  
07. Select the condition **Type** under the "Message includes" section.  
08. Select the option **Event response**.  
09. Select the action **Delete** under the "Organization" section.  
10. If you'd like previous emails to be deleted, check **Run rule now**. If you'd like this to be applied only for future emails, keep this option unchecked.  
11. Click **Save**.

To turn off event response emails only for one event:

1. Go to Outlook Calendar.  
2. Click on the event you'd like to turn off responses for.  
3. Click **Edit**.  
4. Click **Response options**.  
5. Uncheck **Request responses**. Note that this will stop email notifications each time someone responds, but it will not prevent invitees from responding to the event.

_Note: The above setting does not turn off the automated OOO email responses you may receive when sending invitations. To turn off those notifications, go to the next section._

##### Turn off automatic replies

If you choose to send calendar invitation emails to guests for your event, you may receive a high volume of automated responses if your guests have automatic replies turned on.

To turn off automated reply emails:

01. Go to Outlook Calendar.  
02. Click on the settings icon in the top right.  
03. Go to **Mail**.  
04. Go to **Rules**.  
05. Click **Add new rule**.  
06. Name your rule, like "Turn off OOO responses".  
07. Select the condition **Type** under the "Message includes" section.  
08. Select the option **Automatic reply**.  
09. To be more selective about which automatic replies to delete, you can add additional conditions. For example, you can choose the condition **Subject or body includes** under the section "Subject" and add keywords like "out of office", "OOO", or "vacation".  
10. Select the action **Delete** under the "Organization" section.  
11. If you'd like previous emails to be deleted, check **Run rule now**. If you'd like this to be applied only for future emails, keep this option unchecked.  
12. Click **Save**.
