Sign in to RSVP By Hyperlinks in Google Calendar Email Invitation

It prevents unauthorised users from responding on a user’s behalf. To prevent unauthorised users from responding on your behalf to Google Calendar event invitations, you need to login to any of the RSVP hyperlinks to invite emails.

Users of a Google account will need to sign-in, in order to respond via hyperlinks in Google Calendar email invitations. The tech giant will make it mandatory to sign-in, in order to prevent unauthorised users from responding on a user's behalf.

Brief Introduction

You would be required to be logged in to use any of the RSVP hyperlinks in invite emails if you want to prevent unauthorised users from responding on your behalf to Google Calendar event invitations.

Google in its statement said, “previously, organisers or anyone with a specific invitee’s invitation copy could respond on behalf of that invitee.”

After receiving invitations in Google Calendar via emails, users can RSVP with responses from options such as ‘Yes,’ ‘No’ or ‘Maybe’ by clicking on the relevant option within the invite. If any user did not log in, the user will have to sign in to their Google Account in order to RSVP. The update will only apply to users with a Google account.
