# Respond to Event Invitations Sent from Lightning Experience or the Salesforce Mobile App

It isn’t possible to respond to event invitations from Lightning Experience or the Salesforce mobile app. Instead, you can accept or decline event invitations from Microsoft® Exchange calendars or Google Calendar™, or the emails generated from those applications.

### Required Editions

<table class="slds-table slds-table_bordered slds-max-medium-table_stacked slds-m-bottom_small edition"><colgroup><col></colgroup><tbody><tr class=""><td class="slds-cell-wrap" style="vertical-align:top;">Available in: Lightning Experience and all versions of the Salesforce mobile app</td></tr><tr class=""><td class="slds-cell-wrap" style="vertical-align:top;">Available in: <strong>All</strong> editions except <strong>Essentials</strong>, <strong>Personal</strong>, and <strong>Database.com</strong></td></tr></tbody></table>

Sending invitations to attendees added to events in Lightning Experience and the Salesforce app requires Einstein Activity Capture or Lightning Sync. When syncing coworkers invite you to events from Lightning Experience or the Salesforce app, you receive an email with a link to the event. Invitations are emailed from Microsoft Exchange or Google Calendar. If you respond from your Microsoft or Google calendar or the email generated from those applications, your responses then sync to Salesforce. That way, other attendees can see your attendance status.
