I am using Appian 7.4. We already have a smart service to send meeting requests

I am using Appian 7.4. We already have a smart service to send meeting requests from a process model. The requirement is:
1. First check whether or not a person's calendar is free for the meeting and then send the invite
OR
2. Check for a person's calendar for availability and decide the meeting time at runtime.
Can we achieve this in Appian via any smart service, logic..etc?...

I think you need to access your calendar server to get this information. There is no OOTB function for that. MS Exchange and Lotus Notes both provide some webservices. Have you checked that?

Hi Simranjit,
I actually was trying to build a logic for sending meeting requests which will integrate with the person's calendar. Can you help me out with it. I read a logic by sending "ics" file as attachment. But i am not able to convert a ".txt" file to ".ics" file. Help will be appreciated.

To add to what
Stefan Helzle
has said, you should take a look at your calendar's API. In my experience with integrations, the trick isn't with interacting with a well-built API (Appian provides OOTB methods), but how you authenticate. Sometimes you need to write a custom plugin/servlet to handle more complex authentication handshakes.

You cannot change file extensions in Appian. Just upload the file again with an .ics extension and use this.
