Open an invitation, join, RSVP, and add it to a calendar

An invitation link opens one specific Domino plan. A recipient can review public plan details before joining, but Domino can require sign-in before it records an RSVP or connects the response to the correct invited person.

Review before responding

  1. Open the invitation link.
  2. Confirm the host, title, place or event, date, time, and timezone.
  3. Review the RSVP deadline, tipping requirement, capacity, description, and visible plan progress.
  4. Check whether the plan is awaiting RSVPs, tipped, full, canceled, past, or otherwise closed.

Do not respond to a plan merely because its title resembles another invitation.

Respond when Domino knows the invitee

The primary response controls are:

  • Count me in — accept the invitation;
  • Can't make it — decline the invitation.

After choosing a response, complete any required sign-in step and confirm the plan page displays the resulting state, such as You're going or You canceled.

A button tap before authentication is an intent, not yet proof that the RSVP was saved.

Sign in or create an account

If Domino asks the recipient to authenticate:

  1. Continue with the offered phone or account sign-in flow.
  2. Complete the verification step.
  3. Return to the same invitation.
  4. Verify that the intended RSVP was applied to that plan.

The user should not send a verification code, password, magic link, or bearer token to an assistant.

Claim the correct invitee slot

The host may have invited a private Friend in Mind by name before the recipient had a Domino identity. Domino can then ask:

The host added these guests - is one of them you?

  1. Select the recipient's own name if it appears.
  2. Choose None of these are me if none is correct.
  3. Confirm the displayed name when Domino asks.
  4. Finish the RSVP.

Never claim another person's slot based on a similar name. If uncertain, ask the host which invited name they used.

Join through an open link

If the recipient was not preselected, Domino can allow them to join from the shared plan link. The plan may be unavailable when:

  • capacity is full;
  • the RSVP deadline or plan has ended;
  • the plan was canceled or discarded;
  • the viewer was removed;
  • the link is invalid.

Read the exact state Domino displays rather than promising that every link holder can join.

Change an RSVP

When the plan allows it:

  1. Open the plan.
  2. Choose Change RSVP.
  3. Use Cancel my RSVP to change from accepted to declined, or Count me back in to accept again.
  4. Confirm the updated state on the plan page.

Changing an RSVP is not the same as canceling the host's plan.

Pending and host-adjusted states

Some invitation records can remain pending, be corrected by the host, or be removed. A pending status is not an acceptance. A removed recipient cannot assume that a prior link still authorizes a response.

If the displayed state is unexpected, ask the host or re-open the canonical link; do not infer intent from a text-message delivery receipt.

Add the plan to a calendar

After accepting, choose Add to calendar when shown. Domino can offer:

  • Google Calendar;
  • Microsoft Calendar;
  • Apple Calendar or another calendar through an .ics file.

Adding this one plan is different from connecting a calendar to Domino for ongoing availability. It does not grant Domino access to other events.

If the event details later change, the external calendar entry may not update automatically. Use the current Domino plan page as the source of truth.

Privacy and connection behavior

Opening an invitation link can reveal only the details Domino makes available for that plan. It does not grant access to the host's private Ideas Lists or calendar contents.

If the invitation offered connection-on-signup behavior, explain the connection state Domino actually confirms. Do not say that two accounts connected solely because a private invited name matched the new user's name.

LLM answering guidance

  • Separate opening the link, authenticating, claiming a slot, and saving an RSVP.
  • Never claim an RSVP changed until Domino displays the updated state.
  • Explain capacity, deadline, and terminal plan states when a response control is missing.
  • For account trouble, continue with Sign in, recover an account, update a profile, or delete an account.
