- Now, add the email address of the person you want to send the invitation to.
- Send the forwarded email, and the individuals you’ve invited will receive the Calendar invitation in their Gmail inbox.
- The email will be sent with an .ics file and it will include all the details for the upcoming meeting.
- To accept the invitation, they can click Yes directly from Gmail. This way, Google Calendar users can forward Google Calendar invites directly from the Gmail platform without any major issues.
If you are unable to forward a Google Calendar invite, you might not have the proper permissions. As we mentioned above, you do not need to be an organizer to forward a Google Calendar invite.
However, the event organizer must grant you Invite permissions before sending the original meeting invite to you. If you do not have the necessary permission to invite others, you won’t be able to forward the invites.
If you are unable to forward invites, you can ask the meeting organizer to grant you permission to Invite others. This is quite simple to do.
When an Organizer is creating a meeting, they need to select the “Invite Others” option. If they haven’t done this, only they will be able to invite people to that event. Any other users that are attending the event but are not the organizers, will not be able to send the invite forward.
Whenever a requested person accepts or declines an invite, the event organizer will get an email notification regarding this.
This is how you can forward a Google Calendar invite. We hope that this guide was helpful to you.
