Automatically Create ICS calendar Files for Events

I'd love it if Marketo could automatically create a Webinar .ics file the way WebEx does. It would be a time saver, but I already save so much time with the new plug-in that this is definitely not a deal breaker.

Thanks!

Thanks for the update.

The temporary work around for #1 is that you can manually put the URL into the page. The token renders out an extra host in the current web URL, so if you pull the root path from there and use your current host, it will work.

1) Support for the calendar file on landing pages is coming in our May release (5/21/13)

2) We currently do not support attachments so at this time it is not possible.

Hi,

I have a couple of questions about this:

1. The ICS file token can be used in email (great!), but it does not seem work if we try to include the token in the registration "Thank You" page. That seems like it should be a trivial fix. Is this supposed to work in both contexts?

2. I don't see how to add the ICS file as an attachment to the email. Is this part of the scope of this request? Having it as an attachment is a big deal as many email / calendar clients will read that automatically and add the item to the calendar in a tentative / to be accepted state. That's a big win. Possible?

Thanks for any input.

Hi Cheryl (or anyone else that knows),

Just to clarify, will the calendar file token populate with a url link to the ICS file, or will it actually be attached to the email? I assume the former, but wanted to make sure. The new release notes dont clarify.

Thanks!
