By default, you’ll receive notifications in your Gmail inbox when someone you’ve invited to an event responds to your invitation. However, if you’re organizing a large meeting, you may prefer not to have your inbox cluttered with event responses, making it more challenging to spot your more crucial emails. Fortunately, you can control whether or not you receive these emails. Here’s how to disable meeting acceptance notifications in Gmail.
Understanding Meeting Acceptance Notifications in Gmail
When you schedule a meeting event, you can send invitations to everyone you want to attend. These emails will include links to respond to the invitation as Yes, No, or Maybe. When your invitee makes this decision, by default, you’ll receive an email informing you of their decision, including the slightly amusing ‘tentatively accepted’ email if they click Maybe. If you invite a large number of people to a meeting, you’re going to receive many of these acceptance notifications. And you don’t necessarily need them; if you click on an event you’ve created in Google Calendar, you’ll see a list of how all the people you’ve invited have responded, which is a quicker way to check than sifting through a large number of acceptance emails. If you don’t want your inbox filling up with these notifications, you can disable meeting acceptance notifications.
