SP2010 Calendar Event removal via Outlook Email Cancellation

Question

I've enabled incoming email for my SP calendar and have that working just fine. If i create a meeting through outlook, it populates my SP calendar and my Outlook calendar. If i then cancel the meeting through Outlook, the event is removed from my Outlook calendar, but it is not removed from the SP calendar. Instead, the SP calendar displays the message "Cancelled: Meeting Title".

Is there a way to have the SP calendar automatically remove cancelled events, whether through a setting or programtically?

Thanks!

Answer 1

A SharePoint calendar is still fundamentally a list behind the scenes. Why not simply create a list item workflow for the list and place an "item updated" check in place?

If the calendar item title contains "Cancelled" then you can add a task to delete the item automatically. Alternatively, remove all read permissions for standard users so that you can still view the calendar entry retrospectively as an admin.
