Google calendar notifications Bug

Hello FluentBooking Team,

I noticed an issue with the Google Calendar integration regarding notification settings.

In the booking settings, when “Enable Google Calendar Notification” is unchecked, I would expect that no email notifications are triggered to guests via Google Calendar.

However, in the Google Calendar API request for event creation/update, the URL still includes the parameter:

sendUpdates=all

This parameter instructs Google Calendar to send email notifications to all attendees, which seems to override the notification setting being turned off in FluentBooking.

Expected behavior:

  • When “Enable Google Calendar Notification” is unchecked, the API call should either:

    • Omit sendUpdates, or
    • Use sendUpdates=none

Current behavior:

  • sendUpdates=all is always included in the API URL, even when notifications are disabled.

This results in guests still receiving calendar email notifications despite the setting being turned off.

I’ve attached screenshots showing:

  1. Notification setting disabled in FluentBooking
  2. The API request URL including sendUpdates=all

Please let me know if any additional logs or test cases are needed.

Sahaj Agrawal Actually if the sendUpdates parameter is not explicitly passed to the Google Calendar API, we automatically apply the default value sendUpdates=all. In Fluent Booking, we do pass the sendUpdates value to the API based on the Enable Google Calendar Notification setting. Thank you for understanding!

but i have switched off Enable Google Calendar Notification. Still it is sending updates to all. On support I have sent the exact line of code (from FluentBooking Pro) where there are issues.
