💡 Challenge:
Organizing event attendees in Power Automate can feel like herding cats. The usual methods often mean everyone gets an alert every time there’s a change, and to make matters worse, everyone can see who else is coming. Talk about a lack of privacy!

✅ Solution:
But here’s a game-changer: using the Graph API with the Update Event call. This slick move lets you add folks to the event without setting off everyone’s notifications and keeps the guest list under wraps by setting the hideAttendees parameter to true.

🔧 How It’s Done:

• Step 1: Kick things off with an HTTP request to snag the deets on the current event, including who’s already RSVP’d.
• Step 2: Whip up an array for your new guest, filling in the blanks with their info and email.
• Step 3: Bring the new and old attendees together with the magic of the union expression.
• Step 4: Send that updated list of party-goers back to the event with another HTTP zinger.
• OR: Take a shortcut and grab the whole setup from my GitHub.

🎉 Result:
And just like that, you’re adding or tweaking your attendee list on the DL, keeping the notification spam to a minimum. Plus, with the attendee list set to private, it’s like your event has its own VIP secrecy cloak.

🌟 Key Advantages:

• Privacy Enhanced: It’s a cloak of invisibility for your guest list, ensuring attendees can’t peek at others, keeping their details safe and sound.
• Notification Control: Say goodbye to notification overload. This method is like sneaking in the back door without the doorbell ringing.
• Flexibility: Whether you’re inviting just a couple more or a whole crowd, this approach has got you covered, making it a breeze to scale up.

Wave goodbye to the chaos of event management and hello to smooth, secretive attendee handling. It’s not just about making life easier; it’s about elevating the whole event experience, one silent update at a time.
