Add invitations from mail to calendar automatically doesn't work

Events from Mail are not added automatically to Calendar anymore. Siri Suggestions are enabled. There's no "Click the Add invitations to Calendar automatically" checkbox under Preferences and I can't find the feature under Mail preferences.

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 10.15

Hey Matthew,

I just talked to 4 Apple Support advisors. The last one, a senior advisor, confirmed that this checkbox/feature doesn't exist anymore in Monterey. Events/invitations are not added automatically to Calendar anymore. Apparently it's been replaced by Siri, but the problem is that Siri doesn't add the events automatically. In order to have the events received per Mail on your Calendar app, one has to check emails in the Mail app and add them manually. It's just a click, but it obliges users to permanently have to check emails.

I'm very disappointed, but they said the feature is gone.

Cheers.

Hey Matthew,

thank you very much for your answer. You wrote in your message: "In the Mail app on your Mac, choose Mail > Preferences, click General, then select or deselect the “Add invitations to Calendar automatically” checkbox." The problem is, that the checkbox you mentioned is not shown at all.

Do you know where I can find it in Monterey?

Cheers,

Mauricio

Hello, hellomauro.


Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.


For your concern with Calendar invites, are you using the steps found in this article? Use Siri Suggestions in Calendar on Mac


  1. "Add the suggested event to another calendar, or remove it, by doing one of the following:
    • Add it to your default calendar: Click Add to Calendar.
    • Add it to another calendar using the event info window: Click the pop-up menu in the upper-right corner of the window, then choose a calendar.
    • Add it to another calendar using the notifications list: Click and hold Add to Calendar, then choose a calendar.
    • Remove it: Click Ignore.

You can control whether calendar invitations received in Mail are added to your calendar automatically. In the Mail app  on your Mac, choose Mail > Preferences, click General, then select or deselect the “Add invitations to Calendar automatically” checkbox."


If so, try seeing if you're able to do this under a new user account: Set up users, guests, and groups on Mac


Best regards.
