Scheduling & invitations

You can invite people to your events, and KashCal sends the invitations through your own calendar account. You can also reply to invitations other people send you.

Inviting people​

In the event form, tap Add attendees. In the search box you can:

  • Type a name to pick from your contacts. This needs Contacts permission. While KashCal can still ask for it, a banner reads Suggest people from your contacts, with No thanks and Allow.
  • Type an email address, then tap the Add row that shows it, or the keyboard's done key.

Until the text in the box is a full email address, the box shows this, even while you type a contact's name:

Enter a full email address

Each guest shows as a chip with an ✕. Tap the chip to remove that guest.

When you save, your calendar server sends the invitations.

Save & notify​

When you edit an event, the save button reads Save & notify if saving will send guests an update. That happens when you:

  • change the title, location, time or repeat rule of an event with guests
  • add a guest
  • remove a guest (the removed guest gets a cancellation)

If you change only the notes or the color, the label doesn't change. New events and device-calendar events never show Save & notify. Saving a new event with guests still sends the invitations.

Seeing who's coming​

The guest list groups people 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, the event asks Going? and you reply Yes, Maybe, or No. For a repeating event, your reply applies to the whole series:

Your reply applies to the whole series.

If an occurrence was changed on its own, your reply on it applies to that occurrence only.

You can reply on the event itself, or from Invites, which lists every invitation still waiting for your reply.

When invitations aren't available​

KashCal needs an email address for your account to send invitations as the organizer. When the account has none, the guest row reads:

Inviting people isn't available on this account

A device calendar with no sync account behind it keeps its data only on your phone. You can add guests there, but nobody is notified, and the form says so:

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