# Why can't I avoid notifying attendees when updating an event?

While some calendar providers allow you to suppress notifications being sent to
attendees when an event is changed, not all do.

This means any change may result in notifications, and so your application
integration should account for them being sent.

Because of this, we've taken the position to not expose this capability through
the Cronofy API. This avoids the possibility of situations where attendees *do
not* have up-to-date details for an event, or worse no knowledge of it at all.

We feel that notifying attendees too much is much better than a situation where
they do not know about, or have incorrect details for, an event.
