So we have resources in Outlook, for example, room1@example.com and we would like to be able to reserve this room through SharePoint for events on one of our SP calendars. It's only ever going to be one room, so it doesn't need anything fancy for selecting which room.
My idea was to trigger workflows on item creation and edit to send emails to this account and edit the resource calendar. For cancelling reservations, since we can't trigger a workflow on item deletion, I was thinking we could make a new Delete button that fires a workflow which will send the email and then delete the item from the list as the last action of the workflow.
The question is, can we control the Outlook resource entirely through email and can we even send emails to it? My first try to just send an email to the room failed and the workflow was suspended. If we can control the room entirely through email (not using Outlook at all) then what are the format of these emails and how can I get SP to actually send them?
Any help would be much appreciated.
