<title>Replying to a Meeting Request</title>
<p>Meeting requests are sent as attachments and displayed as the body of an email. All the details about the event are shown, including time and dates.</p>
<p>You can choose whether and how to reply to the invitation and add a personal comment to your reply. Available options are to <gui>Decline</gui>, Tentatively Accept (<gui>Tentative</gui>), or <gui>Accept</gui>. You can also decide whether the time of the meeting will still be shown as free in your calendar.</p>

<p>If the meeting request already includes a <link xref="calendar-alarms-and-reminders">reminder</link> you can import the reminder to your calendar by enabling <gui>Inherit reminder</gui>.</p>

<p>If you click <gui>Accept</gui> the event is added automatically to the calendar that you have chosen.</p>
<p>After you have added the meeting to your calendar, you can make changes to the meeting, but if the original organizer sends out an update, your changes might be overwritten.</p>

<note style="tip"><p>Under <guiseq><gui>Edit</gui><gui>Preferences</gui><gui>Calendar and Tasks</gui><gui>Meeting Invitations</gui><gui>Conflict Search</gui></guiseq> you can define which calendars are used for warning you of meeting conflicts.</p></note> <!-- This is the location since 3.1.5, see bug https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=655494 -->
