Responding to a Calendar Invite (RSVP)

What it does

When someone invites you to a calendar event, you can respond with Accepted, Tentative, or Declined. You can also specify whether you'll attend In Person or Virtually.

How to use it

Responding to an invite

  1. Open the event from your calendar (it will appear on your calendar in a faded state if you haven't responded yet; guest status shows as INVITED).
  2. Tap the RSVP or Respond option on the event detail screen.
  3. Choose your response:
  4. Accepted: you're attending.
  5. Tentative: you might attend (e.g. pending confirmation).
  6. Declined: you're not attending.
  7. If the event has an attendance mode, also select:
  8. In Person: you'll attend physically.
  9. Virtual: you'll attend remotely.
  10. If the event is recurring, you'll be asked which occurrences to update:
  11. This Event: only this occurrence.
  12. Following Events: this and future occurrences.
  13. All Events: the entire series.
  14. Confirm. The organiser is notified of your response.

How your RSVP appears

  • Accepted → event block shows at full colour opacity on your calendar.
  • Invited / Tentative → event block shows with reduced opacity (faded), indicating a non-confirmed state.
  • Declined → event may still appear faded, or may not appear at all depending on your calendar settings.

Tips & shortcuts

  • If your plans change, open the event and update your RSVP; the organiser is notified.
  • Tentative is useful when you want the event to hold a slot in your calendar while you confirm.
