iCal 5.x: Reply to an event invitation
This article has been archived and is no longer updated by Apple.
If you’re invited to an event, you can reply to the invitation and add the event to your iCal calendar.
- If you receive the invitation in iCal, click the Notifications button (in the top-left corner of the window). Click Maybe, Decline, or Accept to reply to the invitation.
The Notifications button shows how many invitations you have. It isn’t available if you don’t have any invitations.
- If you receive the invitation through email, you can respond directly in the email or you can move the invitation to iCal by opening the event attachment included in the email. If you open the attachment, iCal opens and the invitation appears in your iCal Notifications pop-up list.
To have iCal automatically place invitations in iCal, choose iCal > Preferences, click Advanced, and then select the “Automatically retrieve CalDAV invitations from Mail” checkbox.
