Filter by RSVP Status

What it does: Blocks calendar invitations you haven't accepted — anything you've declined or not yet responded to is kept off the synced calendar.

Use case: Your calendar fills up with invitations you never accepted. This keeps your synced calendar limited to events you've actually committed to.

function gate(event: GateEvent): GateResult {
  if (
    event.responseStatus === 'declined' ||
    event.responseStatus === 'needsAction'
  ) {
    return { pass: false, reason: 'Invitation not accepted' };
  }
  return { pass: true };
}

How It Works​

The responseStatus property holds your own response to the event (the response on the connected source calendar), not the responses of other attendees. It is one of:

  • accepted — you accepted the invitation
  • declined — you declined the invitation
  • tentative — you responded "maybe"
  • needsAction — you were invited but have not responded yet
  • organizer — you created/organize the event
  • null — you are not an attendee (e.g. a personal event with no invitees), or the source calendar does not expose a response

The recipe above passes accepted, tentative, organizer, and null events, and blocks declined and needsAction.

Customization​

Only sync events you've firmly accepted (also drop "maybe"):

function gate(event: GateEvent): GateResult {
  if (
    event.responseStatus === 'accepted' ||
    event.responseStatus === 'organizer'
  ) {
    return { pass: true };
  }
  return { pass: false, reason: 'Not a confirmed commitment' };
}

This intentionally blocks null events too, so personal events with no invitees won't sync. Drop the organizer check or add || event.responseStatus === null if that's not what you want.

Only sync events you organize:

function gate(event: GateEvent): GateResult {
  if (event.responseStatus === 'organizer') {
    return { pass: true };
  }
  return { pass: false, reason: 'Not organized by me' };
}
