Invite Attendees to an Event
In Zoho Calendar, attendees of an event can be added and invited by entering their email address in the Attendees field of the Create Event, Duplicate Event or Edit Event tab. You can invite the contacts from within your organization and also from outside your organization. When organizing meetings in your organization, you need to check the free/ busy status of your colleagues before picking the best time for the meeting.
The event invitation request will be sent to the attendees and notifications will be dropped through email. After receiving the invitation, the attendees have to RSVP to the event after which the status will be updated to the organizer.
Steps to send Event Invites to Attendees
- Log in to Zoho Calendar.
- Click the New Event button on the left pane of your calendar.
- In the Create Event tab, provide the Event title, Date and Time of the event.
- Provide the email address of the attendees in the Attendees field. You can choose the attendees email address from the drop down if the attendees are in your contact or if they are from within your organization.
