How to send appointment through Outlook add-in?

I'm trying to implement an add-in for Outlook which has some fields and a button that once clicked does some validations and sends an appointment to inform the attendees.

I am using the function below to achieve my goal:

Office.context.mailbox.item.saveAsync()
Office.context.mailbox.item.close() (as a callback for the function above)

It works for office365, but it doesn't work for office365 thick client.

I found in the Microsoft docs that with the function 'saveAsync' in Outlook in cached mode, the item is saved to the local cache. I disabled this option and still getting the same result.

I was using OnSend functionality, but this feature is not supported for Outlook client.

Any advice or tips of how could I have the functionality of sending the appointment through my Add-in in both, client and web version of Outlook? Basically I need to trigger the existing button 'Send' in the calendar.

It sounds like the ItemSend Event (OnSend) you are using in Outlook on the Web handles your scenario. We are working to bring this functionality to Outlook on Windows soon.
