Gmail Schemas - Not displaying in inbox

I think I have done everything correctly, but there is no action button in the inbox.

I think you need to use Google Apps Script for testing purposes. https://developers.google.com/gmail/actions/apps-script-tutorial

I had been trying to send emails to myself with schema.org markup in them using an SMTP client without any success but this worked for me straight out of the box.

It seems, that Event Reservations work only for Google Now. As Google doc says

Gmail supports 4 types of actions and 1 interactive card:

RSVP Action for events

Review Action for restaurants, movies, products and services

One-click Action for just about anything that can be performed with a single click

Go-to Action for more complex interactions

Flight interactive cards

As you see nothing is said about event reservations.

Moreover if you just send test email with event reservation example (from doc) you'll get no action button as well.

But Google Now has special card for this case (see doc):

After an email confirming an event booking:
