Reply to an invitation to an event

If the message is an invitation to an event, you can accept or decline participation in the event directly from the message view area by clicking the required button (Accept, Tentative, Decline). A response email will be automatically generated and sent to the event organizer, and the event will be marked on the attendee's calendar according to their response to the invitation:

Accepted: Filling with the color of the calendar in which the event is added.

Tentatively accepted (the Tentative button was clicked): Filling with light color of the calendar.

Unhandled: Filling with light color of the calendar and dotted outline.

A declined event is not displayed in the calendar.

You can also accept or decline participation in an event in the calendar, in the view event parameters window (see View and edit an event).

Conflict of events

If the event for which the invitation is received overlaps in time with another event in the calendar (accepted, tentatively accepted, or not yet handled), the user will be warned about it in the invitation:

event_conflict

To get more information to decide whether to participate, you can click the Open the Calendar link, and a calendar fragment with overlapping events will be displayed. To collapse a calendar fragment, click the Collapse Calendar link.

In some cases, it is not possible to expand the calendar in an email. Then instead of the Open the Calendar link in the invitation, there will be a Go to Calendar link, and when you click it, the Calendar tab will open.

A conflict warning will also be received by the event organizer in an email offering to reschedule the event if they have another meeting on their calendar at that time. In this case, there will be a Show in scheduler link in the offer for more information.
