Tip of the week #14: Respond to event invites in Zoho Calendar.



The term RSVP is the abbreviation of the French phrase “répondez s’il vous plaît” (please respond). An RSVP is a polite request for you to inform the host whether or not you’ll be attending their event so they can plan accordingly. This will in turn help the host to plan the event based on the number of attendees.

This week's tip will help you in knowing the different ways available in Zoho Calendar for responding to an event. The responses you can make are:
  • Yes - You are attending the event.
  • No - You are not attending the event.
  • Maybe - You may or may not be attending the event. (You have to check later to change your response in case you wish to attend)
You can RSVP to an event invite using the following options:

Event Notification:

Once the host/ organizer creates an event and add you as a participant in an event you will be notified in your Zoho Calendar/ Zoho Mail Notification Center (The bell icon on top right of your window). You can respond to the invite in the notification by choosing the preferred option. Learn more.


Email event invitation

When the organizer create, edit, or delete an event, an intimation mail about the action will be sent to you. The email will be sent to your primary email address.  The attendees can respond to a new event invite or edit their response by choosing "Yes", "No", or "Maybe" from the invitation card in the email. Learn more.



Calendar Event Invitation

If you are logged in to Zoho Calendar, you can respond to the event invitations from your calendar grid. Once the organizer creates an event by adding you as an attendee, you will receive the event notification in your calendar. If you have allowed the automatic addition of events to your calendar, then the event will be displayed in your calendar grid.

You can click on the event title displayed in calendar grid and respond to the event invite either from the Quick view pop-up/ Event view tab. Learn more.
