Created the file. I want the user to double-click it, review it, and send it. When double-clicked, Outlook asks to open new calendar. GenAI goes down a rabbit hole that I don't trust. Has anyone gotten this to work? Here's ICS content:

Hi @Greg Prickril,

I made some corrections to your ICS content and tested it with positive results.

Here is the corrected ICS:

Below is a screenshot of the test Power Automate flow I used.

I hope this information helps! If it does, please consider giving a 👍.
Best regards,
