How to fake a touch event in the system?

When scheduling a calendar event with an invitee using Siri, does the system actually invite the other person or simply add them as a note to the event?

• For example, you can say "Set up a meeting with Susan at 9." Does that event invite Susan to the meeting or simply add "with Susan" to the notes/description of the event?

• Answer:

  This depends on what calendar service you are using.  Siri and the iOS Calendar app do not by themselves send out any e-mail invitations -- they simply add the invitee to the appointment. If you are using iCloud for your calendar, the iCloud service will generate the invitation on the server-side. If the invitee is not an iCloud user, they will receive an e-mail invitation, if the invitee is using iCloud they will receive the invitation directly in their Calendar app instead of an e-mail (this setting can be turned off in the Calendar preferences at http://iCloud.com if you would prefer to receive e-mail invitations instead). Other Calendar services (e.g. Google Calendar, Microsoft Exchange, etc) may behave differently depending on whether the server is designed to handle the invitation process.  Again, Siri and the iOS Calendar merely add the recipient name to the invitees and leave any other processing to be done by the server.
