We are wanting to send an .ics calendar invite in an SMS. I have researched this before for email, but never implemented it. So I am not sure how that would work for an SMS. Has any one had luck doing that and maybe could point me in a direction to get this implimented?

Thanks

Yes, you can send it via a URL. Also, you will have to shorten the URL before using it in delivery.

Hello @mrryantye

SMS is for text content only. You cannot send an attachment with an SMS.

Why couldnt we use the same principles they have here for email, and just create a url to link to the .ics that when a person clicks said link they could have that file download and add the .ics to their calendar?
