Google Calendar — Respond (RSVP)

Google Calendar — Respond (RSVP)

Section titled “Google Calendar — Respond (RSVP)”

Type: googlecalendar-respond  ·  Package: Google Calendar v1.0.5  ·  Output: Dictionary<string,object>

Responds to an event invitation on behalf of a guest: accept, decline or mark as tentative. Useful so a team mailbox or agenda confirms meetings that match a rule automatically.

How it works

Section titled “How it works”

Reads the event, finds the responding email among its guests (case-insensitive), changes its response and saves the event. The other guests stay as they were.

By default it responds as the session account: the email Connect read from its main calendar (with impersonateUser, the impersonated user’s). Use email to respond as another guest, or if Connect could not read the account.
