When someone sends a meeting invite — from Google Calendar, Outlook, Apple, or anywhere else — Doota reads it and shows a tidy invite card at the top of the message instead of a raw attachment.
The card shows the date and time, the title, where it is (including a Join button for Zoom, Meet, or Teams links), who’s organizing, and who’s going.
Replying — Yes, Maybe, or No
If you’re invited, the card has three buttons: Yes, Maybe, and No. Tap one to respond. Your answer goes back to the organizer, and the card remembers what you chose. Everyone’s status shows on the card — Going, Maybe, Declined, or No response.
How your reply is sent depends on who sent the invite:
- Google and Outlook invites carry their own Yes / Maybe / No links. Tapping a button opens that flow in a new page — the one their calendar expects — and Doota records your choice locally so the card stays in sync.
- Apple, Fastmail, and plain invites don’t have those links, so Doota sends a proper reply email to the organizer for you. No new page, one clean response.
Updates and cancellations
If the organizer changes the time or details, the newer invite wins and the card updates. If they cancel, the card reads Cancelled and the reply buttons go away.
When an invite is just a notification that someone else replied (“Alex accepted”), Doota shows it for context but doesn’t offer you buttons — it isn’t yours to answer.
