TL;DR
- Google Calendar is getting an update that allows meeting organizers or their delegates to choose whether or not to receive RSVP emails and automatic responses.
- The new setting is beneficial for organizers who don’t need to be informed about every individual attendee’s response.
- The gradual rollout starts today for all Google Workspace customers, Workspace Individual subscribers, and users with personal Google accounts.
Have you ever set up a meeting in Google Calendar and gotten overwhelmed by all the RSVP emails and automatic responses? While it can be useful to know who is and isn’t attending your event, having your inbox get flooded by these messages is far from ideal. It’s just one of the app’s annoying quirks. But Google is finally solving this problem in Calendar’s latest update.

The new setting will allow meeting organizers or their delegates to choose whether or not to receive RSVP emails and automatic responses (like out-of-office emails). This option is called “Get an email when guests respond,” and it will appear just above the option to write a description.
