'Add to calendar' link

Hi,

Does anyone have a good solution for a "add to calendar" link in emails? Something that works both for google calendar and other calendars would be good!

Thanks in advance!

    With some testing, the ADDEVENT.com works.
    This is ideal for smaller events we are running on TEAMS to a customer audience.

    @sanfordwhiteman is Agical able to generate links for outlook.com or office 365? My understanding is people using web versions of outlook would need to take an extra step to import ICS files just like you would with GCal, so not an ideal experience. Hoping to avoid if possible.

    Not at present. But it’s a great suggestion that we’ll add as soon as we can reverse-engineer their links (we have to document which Agical features are supported w/each type of link).

      Agical works fine for  a Teams link, too.

        I had the same issue. The thing I found was Addevent its a free calendar file creator, but it would require you to put in 2 buttons, one for google, and one for Apple/Outlook.

        Eventable is another tool you can use. One "Add to Calendar" button works with all calendar types. It's free. https://add.eventable.com/free-add-to-calendar-button

            Like Josh said, the ICS calendar token should work for most email clients. Here's how to make one in Marketo:

            Create a Calendar Event (.ics) File - Marketo Docs - Product Docs

            Is there an email client this isn't working with?

            ICS tokens are not practical for Google Calendar users.

            It also doesn't work for iPhone users who have the Gmail and Chrome apps. The ics file will not work properly if opened in Chrome for iOS.

            If you use the Calendar ICS My Token in a Program, that should work for everyone.

            Otherwise you will have to construct the ICS file and upload it to Marketo. I believe there are some ICS tutorials on the web. It's not hard to do.
