Cause

This appears to be a feature of Microsoft's API when creating the meeting invite and cannot be controlled by SuccessFactors.

Resolution

This is an expected behavior from a Microsoft API and Outlook Integration perspective, this cannot be controlled by SAP SuccessFactors product. A suggestion would be to reach out to Microsoft's Support Team to confirm if there's anything that can be done or prevent this tag from being sent. Since this is a Microsoft's feature and is automatically added into the email body, it's out of SAP SuccessFactors product's control.
