Otherwise, we won’t be able to make any decisions.”
I would like to wait until someone from Production is willing to join. From the meeting invite, it doesn’t look like Production is involved. “I’m looking forward to making some decisions on this issue.Would it be possible to push this meeting back and let the working group make a little more progress before we meet?” Based on our current year priorities, I’m not sure we’re ready for a productive conversation yet. It’s possible the person will dismiss your comments, but it’s possible that you trigger one of two positive outcomes: either the meeting gets better positioned for success or it gets cancelled. Consider a few different options: This article also appears in:Ĭan I stop the meeting altogether? If the meeting failed criteria #1 because you don’t believe it’s set up for success, take a moment to talk with the organizer about your concerns. You want to leave your co-worker feeling that you’re a good team player and a positive contributor, even if you don’t attend her meeting. If you can’t say yes to any of the three criteria above, then it’s appropriate to decline the meeting, but tread carefully. How central is the meeting topic to your role? Where does the issue fit relative to your other immediate demands? How unique is your contribution and could your seat be better filled by someone else? “Who else will be there from my department?”įinally, if you believe the meeting will be valuable and that you would make a contribution to the discussions, you need to decide whether or not the meeting is a priority for you right now.“What are you looking for me to contribute at this meeting?”.Are the issues within the purview of your role? Do you have the expertise to contribute to the conversation? Are you underqualified or overqualified for the level of decisions on the table? If you’re questioning why you were invited, reach out to the meeting organizer before responding: If it’s clear that the meeting is worthwhile, your next question is whether or not you’re the right person to attend. “How should I prepare for the discussion?”.“What stage of decision making are we at on this topic?”.“Could you please provide some additional information on the agenda?”.Is the meeting about something important, timely, and worthwhile? Is it set up for success by having a clear purpose and agenda? Is there background information available to inform participants in advance? Are the appropriate people invited so that meaningful progress can be made? If the value of the meeting isn’t clear from the invitation, reply back with a few open-ended questions before making your decision: Start by assessing the value of the meeting. Establish a set of criteria for participation and stick with it.
A little discipline goes a long way here. Transporter.Your first challenge is deciding which meetings to decline. send mail with defined transport object Var transporter = nodemailer.createTransport(smtpTransport(smtpOptions)) įrom: ,ĬontentType: 'text/calendar charset="utf-8" method=REQUEST', Var builder = icalToolkit.createIcsFileBuilder() Var smtpTransport = require('nodemailer-smtp-transport') Var client = new postmark.Client('xxxxxxxKeyxxxxxxxxxxxx') This is what it looks like : var icalToolkit = require('ical-toolkit') I switched to the Postmark SMTP service where you can embed the iCal data inside the message and for that I used nodemailer. Initially I was using the Postmark API service to send my emails but this solution was only working by sending an ics.file attachment. It's important to make sure all the relevant fields are set up (organizer and attendees with RSVP). I used iCalToolkit to create a calendar object. For those still looking for an answer, here's how I managed to get the perfect solution for me.
