Question

I'm assuming this has something to do with the validation tool being an early release. The RSVP action isn't validating well. The markup below also isn't showing in gmail, and I'm at a loss as to why.

Solution

The validation tool in the docs is in alpha and it doesn't support all new types yet. Besides, RSVP and Review actions are not currently supported by Gmail, as reported in the reference guide: https://developers.google.com/gmail/schemas/reference/rsvp-action
