Jonas,
Thanks for your question. I had been meaning to research this for a
while and hadn’t gotten around to it until now.
Like most things related to iCalendar and CalDAV, it’s super hard to
find information on event replies. The short story is that replies are
done by sending an iCalendar file back to the organizer with
METHOD:REPLY and certain fields filled out.
The format of reply iCalendar files is defined by the iCalendar
Transport-Independent Interoperability Protocol (iTIP), [RFC
5546](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5546). See section
[3.2.3](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5546#section-3.2.3) for details
and [4.2](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5546#section-4.2) for an
example.
The iCalendar reply can be sent as an email attachment or via Scheduling
Extensions to CalDAV, [RFC 6638](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6638). I
haven’t grok’d that standard, but see [Appendix
B](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6638#appendix-B) for an example that
mostly makes sense.
Hope this helps!

Hi everybody!
I'm trying to wrap my head around how RSVPing to calendar invites
works. I appreciate how easy this is for example in gmail/outlook.
Now, my situation might be a little bit specific. I have no offline
calendar configured whatsoever. This means, that I don't care that the
calendar event sent is important in a calendar. I just want to RSVP to
the invite. As far as I have understood the standard at this point,
this should basically just be another email reply with another .ics
file attached. I might be wrong about this though.
Has anybody dealt with this before? My ideal scenario would be control
elements to respond with "yes/no/maybe" in Mailmate whenever a meeting
invite comes in.
Best,
Jonas
