Control Calendar Invites
Unfiltered calendar invites can open the door to phishing attempts , spam, and confusion within a school’s Google Workspace environment. When the default is set to “Invitations from everyone,” unknown or malicious actors can clutter calendars or impersonate trusted contacts—compromising both productivity and security .
To better protect your staff and operations, schools should update this setting to “Invitations from known senders, except from select senders.” This creates a reliable filter that permits trusted invitations while blocking unsolicited calendar spam. It’s a small configuration that has a big impact on calendar hygiene, event authenticity , and overall Google Workspace security posture .
At Get Set Tech , we help education IT leaders audit and strengthen their domain-wide calendar settings. From spam-proofing invites to visibility controls, our goal is to ensure your school calendars stay clean, secure, and collaboration-ready.
