- You can accept a Google Calendar invite through the email app on your mobile device, or through an email client on your computer.

Google Calendar is a great way to keep track of events, meetings, birthdays, and anniversaries. Anyone with an email address can receive and accept an event invitation via Google Calendar.
If you want to create an event for a family reunion, for example, you can create the event on Google Calendar, invite family members via their email addresses, and later see who's accepted the invite.
Accepting a Google Calendar invite can be done in only a couple of clicks or taps — whether through the email app on your iPhone or and Android device, or in a browser on your Mac or PC.
