Responding to Invitations
When someone invites you to an event, it appears in your calendar in a pending state. You can respond with Accept, Decline, or Maybe (tentative).
Finding Pending Invitations
Pending invitations appear in your calendar with a distinct visual indicator (usually a lighter color or dashed border) until you respond. You can also find them in your notification center.
How To Respond
- Click the pending event on your calendar.
- In the event detail panel, find the RSVP buttons.
- Click your response:
- Accept — confirms your attendance; the event becomes fully visible on your calendar
- Decline — you won't attend; the event is removed from your calendar (but the organizer can still see you declined)
- Maybe — you're tentative; the event stays on your calendar marked as uncertain
Changing Your Response
You can change your response at any time before the event:
- Click the event.
- Click your current response to toggle to a different one.
The organizer is notified when you change your RSVP.
For External Invitations (Email)
If you were invited via email (without a PrimeCal account), you receive:
- An email with Accept, Decline, and Maybe links
- Click the appropriate link — your response is recorded and the organizer is notified
What Happens On Acceptance
When you accept:
- The event becomes fully colored on your calendar (no longer "pending")
- Your name appears as "Accepted" in the event's attendee list
- The organizer can see your response in the attendee status view
What Happens On Decline
When you decline:
- The event is removed from your calendar view
- The organizer sees you declined in the attendee list
- You won't receive reminders for that event
Example
Noah receives a basketball game invitation from Justin. He taps the event on his PrimeCal mobile app and clicks Accept. The game now appears fully on his calendar, and Justin sees "Noah — Accepted" in the attendee list.
