When a musician receives a Rhapsody call, they will be asked to respond.
Here is a list of response options musicians may be presented with:

Invites ASK a musician: "Can you, and will you play on this Project?"
Musicians can respond with Accept, Decline, or Hold.
A musician can respond to a Rhapsody Invite by accepting. This means that a musician can and is willing attend everything being asked of them on the Call.

A musician can respond to a Rhapsody call by declining. This means that a musician cannot and is not willing attend everything being asked of them on the Call.
FYI
You can send another Invite to a musician who declined their call. When assigning the declined musician to a Chair, Rhapsody will remind you that they have already previously declined. You will still be allowed to send the Call again; great for musicians who accidentally declined or need a revised call!
A musician can respond to a Rhapsody call by holding the call. This means that a musician is unsure whether or not they can fully accept or decline the call.
Musicians who have held a Rhapsody communication can receive the following communications:
Nudge
Cancel

An assignment auto-accepts a musician for a Rhapsody Project.
Assignments TELL a musician: "You are playing on this Project."
Musicians can respond with Acknowledge.
FYI
When sending an Assignment, a musician does not need to respond. Assigned musicians can still receive all the same communications as an Accepted musician. Be careful to only send Assignments to contracted/tenured musicians and not to subs!
A musician can respond to a Rhapsody Assignment by Acknowledging. This means that a musician acknowledges the assignment and confirms the information on the assignment is correct.
Musicians who have acknowledged a Rhapsody Assignment can receive the following communications:
Cancel
Release
Remind
Confirmation

Every time a musician receives a Rhapsody communication where their response is required, (Invite, Assignment, Message, Revision, etc.) Rhapsody allows the musician to include a text based message to add to their response.
Sometimes, musicians do not respond to the Rhapsody call. Musicians may not know they need to respond, or their Rhapsody call could have gone to spam. It's important to troubleshoot WHY a musician hasn't responded first before taking any action. Regardless, you are still able to take action for a musician who has not responded.
Musicians who have not responded to a Rhapsody call can receive the following communication:
Nudge
