Scheduling & invitations

Most plans involve other people. KashCal lets you invite them to your events, send the invitations through your own account, and reply to the ones that land in your lap. That's calendar scheduling: adding guests, getting the word out, and keeping track of who's coming.

Inviting people​

In the event form, tap Add attendees. You can:

  • Search your contacts by name (with Contacts permission), or
  • Type an email address directly, then tap the Add "…" row or press Enter.

KashCal validates email addresses and will prompt you if one looks incomplete:

Enter a full email address

Each guest appears as a chip; tap the ✕ on a chip to uninvite them.

When you save the event, KashCal sends the invitation through your calendar server. Whenever a save will notify guests (a new invitation, a change, or an uninvite), the button reads Save & notify, so you can see the consequence before you tap.

Seeing who's coming​

Attendees are grouped by their response:

  • Going: accepted
  • Maybe: tentative
  • Pending: hasn't responded yet
  • Declined: said no
  • Delegated: passed it to someone else

Responding to invitations​

When someone invites you, KashCal shows the invitation and lets you reply Yes, Maybe, or No. For a repeating event, your reply applies to the whole series:

Your reply applies to the whole series.

When invitations aren't available​

Sending invitations needs a calendar account that supports scheduling. When yours doesn't, KashCal tells you instead of letting you add guests that would go nowhere.

If the account can't schedule at all, the guest row simply reads:

Inviting people isn't available on this account

For a calendar that lives only on your phone (a device "local" calendar), you can still add guests, but they won't be notified. KashCal shows a note saying so:

This calendar can't send invitations. Guests are saved but won't be notified.
