Description
Steps to reproduce
- Create an event and invite some external person who manages their calendar through Google Calendar.
- Let the external person reply to your invitation directly via Google Calendar (without clicking in the Nextcloud invitation eMail that is sent to them).
- See how you get an eMail from the persons Google account, telling you that they replied to your invitation.
- See how in your Nextcloud calendar event, the participation status of the person is not updated.
Expected behavior
Nextcloud Calendar should notice these replies from external calendar servers and update the participation status.
In our experience, this is one of the main reasons for people to complain about Nextclouds incompatibilities regarding calendars.
Actual behavior
The replies from external calendar servers are not recognized and so the organizer of an event has no overview about external participation if someone did not click on the Nextcloud eMail link. And for the invited person it is not clear that they have to click the link, because they assume that they can reply using their calendar software they are always using.
