How to make custom RSVP or multiple buttons in Gmail with schema.org?

I'd like to send emails in Gmail using schema.org email markup with more than one action.

For example: an email asking about attendance with 4 options: [late] [sick] [home] [vacation]

I tried adding options to the rsvp action but it appears to only allow Yes, No, Maybe.

So I tried to use type: EmailMessage, and make an array of potential actions, but it only creates a button for the first action in the list.

I don't mind if this UI does not appear in the summary, and only in the email body.

This isn't possible. Gmail provides the three options for the RSVP action and other actions only support one (customisable) button.

A workaround is to use a single view action which takes you to a URL of your choice where you have the options you desire.

<script type="application/ld+json">
{
  "@context": "http://schema.org",
  "@type": "EmailMessage",
  "potentialAction": {
    "@type": "ViewAction",
    "target": "https://watch-movies.com/watch?movieId=abc123",
    "name": "Watch movie"
  },
  "description": "Watch the 'Avengers' movie online"
}
</script>
