Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

When creating an event and inviting people, an invitation is sent to them. The invitation is always sent from nextcloud@domain.tld and the logo of the Nextcloud instance is included as well.

I may not want to tell them that I am using Nextcloud, nor any other service, so:

  • I would rather not share with them the details of the Nextcloud instance I am using
  • I would rather not share with them the instance's configured email address
  • I would rather not include Nextcloud or the instance's configured logo

Describe the solution you'd like

  • Be able to configure an email address to send those invitations from, ideally, this should be configurable per-calendar (i.e.: I may have a personal and a professional calendar and I would like to send invitations from different email addresses in those cases)
  • Be able to remove the Nextcloud/instance logo from the invitation, or be able to replace that logo with my user avatar, or be able to define my own invitation template
