Add to calendar token - Reminder set to 15 mins as standard

When we use the add to calendar token for running webinars, the default reminder for when people save their event in the calendar is set to "none".

This means that people will not get a reminder pop up before the webinar, like you would do a normal meeting in Outlook.

Please could this be changed?

It seems like this would be such an easy thing for Marketo to fix, and one that would have a big impact for anyone who uses calendar tokens. I cannot use Marketo's calendar token because we find that without the reminder pop up before a meeting, too many people do not remember it.

@sanfordwhiteman I left you a message on your blog as well. Agical has an issue with the PRODID pointing to someother place making it a meeting request than an appointment. Otherwise that's a perfect solution. 

Marketo needs to implement the reminder and the ability to create a calendar link that can go behind a CTA button than creating a text link which we can't control.

Will this be released soon?  We'd like to set it a couple weeks in advance so invitees can book any last minute travel.

Is this function released now?

Nope, still need Agical.

Hi Emily,

This is a dupe of other ideas so it would be better to upvote them and remove this one (Ideas need to be consolidated or they never get done).

Also, I'm not sure if you've seen this in your travels around the Nation but to patch over some of the gaps in the native calendar token, we released Agical, a (totally free, keyless, enterprise-scale) service you can easily link to in your emails. It supports reminders, all-day events, recurring events, and tokenized titles, to name a few things beyond the native token. You can read about it in these posts: http://blog.teknkl.com/tag/agical/
