How to Manage Event Responses
Decline, cancel, or delete calendar events, with an optional message to organisers or attendees.
Decline invitations, cancel meetings you organised, or delete events from your calendar.
Decline an Event
“Decline the 2pm meeting — I have a conflict”
tool: manage-event
params:
action: "decline"
eventId: "AAMkAGR..."
comment: "Sorry, I have a conflicting meeting at that time."
A decline response is sent to the organiser with your comment.
Cancel an Event You Organised
“Cancel tomorrow’s team standup”
tool: manage-event
params:
action: "cancel"
eventId: "AAMkAGR..."
comment: "Rescheduling to later this week — new invite to follow."
All attendees are notified that the event has been cancelled.
Delete an Event
“Remove that old event from my calendar”
tool: manage-event
params:
action: "delete"
eventId: "AAMkAGR..."
Delete removes the event from your calendar without notifying anyone. Use this for personal events or cleaning up old entries.
