In the Calendar app, you can reply to meeting and event invitations you’ve received, with Accept, Maybe, or Decline. You can also suggest a different meeting time, and any comments you add can be seen by the organizer but not by other attendees.
Reply to an event invitation
-
To respond to an event notification, tap it.
Or, in Calendar, tap the Inbox button, then tap an invitation.
- Tap your response—Accept, Maybe, or Decline.
To respond to an invitation you receive by email, tap the underlined text in the email, then tap Show in Calendar.
If you add comments to your response, your comments can be seen by the organizer but not by other attendees (comments may not be available for all calendars). To see events you declined, tap the Calendars button, then turn on Show Declined Events.
Suggest a different meeting time
For a meeting invitation you’ve received, you can suggest a different time.
- Start the Calendar app on your iPad.
- Tap the meeting, then tap Propose New Time.
- Tap the time, then enter a new one.
- Tap the Done button, then tap Send.
What the organizer receives, either a counter-proposal or an email with your suggestion, depends on the capabilities of your calendar server.
