Calendar invite testing

Calendar invites that answer themselves.

Testing scheduling flows usually means real Google and Outlook accounts, a human clicking Accept, and no way to exercise decline or counter paths at scale. Reclario is an auto-RSVP sandbox: send a real ICS invite (METHOD:REQUEST) to any address on your private domain, and the address tag decides the answer — automatically, with a real reply back to the organizer.

How it works

Three steps to a scheduling flow that tests itself.

If your product can send a calendar invite, you can test it here. There's nothing to wire up per address.

1

Claim a domain

Your team's private catch-all domain — $49/mo per domain, unlimited addresses.

yourteam.reclar.io
2

Send an invite to a tagged address

From Google Calendar, Outlook, your ATS, or raw ICS from code — the tag decides the answer.

3

Watch it answer itself

The RSVP card shows When, Where, and Organizer — and a real iTIP REPLY goes back to your organizer.

REPLY: accepted
What you can test

Every RSVP path, on demand.

Auto-accept

+accept accepts the invite and emails a real acceptance back to the organizer — so your confirmation flow completes end to end.

Auto-decline

+decline exercises the path most teams never test: what your product does when the invitee says no.

Tentative

+maybe answers tentative, so you can verify how partial commitments show up in your scheduling UI.

Human-like delay

+delay5 waits five minutes before answering — test reminder logic and what your UI shows while an invite is pending.

Propose a new time

Counter-proposals are supported, so reschedule and negotiation flows get tested — not just the happy path.

Real iTIP replies

Every response is a real iTIP REPLY email to the organizer — Google, Outlook, and your own product parse it exactly as if a human answered.

Works with anything that sends an invite.

Google Calendar, Outlook, your ATS, a scheduling product, or raw ICS generated in code — if it sends a METHOD:REQUEST invite by email, Reclario can answer it. And because your domain is catch-all — every address works — you get one persona per test case: a hundred candidates, each with their own RSVP behavior, none of them a real account.

What it is — and isn't.

Reclario is a test harness, not a calendar server. It responds to invites (METHOD:REQUEST) sent to your addresses; it doesn't host calendars, book rooms, or originate events. You can also RSVP manually from the inbox when you want to drive a specific path by hand — and API keys and webhooks let CI provision addresses and assert on responses.

FAQ

Calendar invite testing, answered.

What invite formats and senders are supported?
Any standard iCalendar (ICS) invite delivered by email with METHOD:REQUEST — which is what Google Calendar, Outlook and Exchange, ATS and scheduling products, and raw ICS generated from code all send. If it emails a real invite, Reclario can answer it.
How do the address tags work?
The plus-tag on the address decides the response: interview+accept@yourteam.reclar.io auto-accepts, +decline declines, +maybe answers tentative, and +delay5 waits five minutes before responding — simulating human latency. Tags combine, so interview+decline+delay5@ declines after five minutes. Every address works instantly — no setup.
Can Reclario propose a new time?
Yes — counter-proposals (propose new time) are supported, so you can exercise the reschedule and negotiation paths of your scheduling flow, not just the happy path.
Can I RSVP manually instead?
Yes. Every invite renders as an RSVP card in the inbox showing When, Where, and Organizer — and you (or any teammate you invite) can answer it by hand when you want to drive a specific path yourself.
Is there an API?
Yes — API keys and webhooks let your CI provision addresses, read messages, and get notified on delivery, so scheduling tests can run unattended. Try it free on the public sandbox at public.reclar.io (work email required, no credit card), or see pricing for a private domain.
