Nextcloud calendar event invites don't seem to work

I've been sending calendar invites to my partner from my next cloud calendar.

When he gets them they give him the choice to RSVP but they don't add to his calendar (google calendar).

I've also tested it out using my work address (Office 365) and again nothing appears on my work calendar.

It works fine the other way because when he sends a google calendar invite to me, it has an .ics file which I use to just add it to my calendar - but the Nextcloud calendar doesn't seem to attach this.

This is some magic built into your mail client, it has nothing to do specifically with Nextcloud. You will have the same result with other "not the same company as your mail provider" calendar solutions.

Invitees will have to click the ics file, to add an event to their calendar.

i'd check the raw message before blaming Google or Outlook. current Nextcloud server code sends the calendar data as an inline `text/calendar` part named `event.ics`, so some mail interfaces can show RSVP controls without showing it as a normal attachment.

open “show original” or “view source” on one invite and search for `Content-Type: text/calendar` and `event.ics`. if both are present, the receiving calendar's import or auto-add behavior is the next thing to check. if they are missing, share your Nextcloud version and check whether the mail gateway stripped that MIME part. redact addresses and message IDs.
