Syntax

Set invitationsVariant = notesCalendar.GetNewInvitations( [ startNotesDateTime ] , [ sinceNotesDateTime ] )
Parameter Description
start NotesDateTime. The start time for meetings to which any new invitations apply. Defaults to all meetings.
since NotesDateTime. The since time for any new invitations. Defaults to all new invitations. Use this parameter in conjunction with UntilTime to get invitations posted since the last call.
Return value Description
Variant The new invitations, or an empty array for no invitations. Each array element is of type NotesCalendarNotice.

Usage

It is important to remember that:
  • The first parameter applies to meetings and specifies the first date to be included in the search.
  • The second parameter applies to invitations and specifies the last date to be excluded from the search.

Examples

This agent gets calendar invitations for messages starting on January 1, 2012, and invitations since October 1 at midnight. The agent then gets more invitations since the last one processed as the user desires.
