Adding calendar invitation to an email
Hello,
I would like to add a calendar invitation to an email, so users can add a meeting to their calendar via a hyperlink type of setup. I'm aware of the function to save a meeting as a .vcs file and attach that to a message, however this does not allow for invitation tracking. Is there a way a to add a link to an email which will put a meeting into a recipient's calendar and send the tracking confirmation to me? Many thanks, Ewen. |

Adding calendar invitation to an email
What's wrong with using a Meeting request? It arrives in their Inbox as an
email. They Accept it and it goes onto their Calendar. If that's not a solution for you, what part of your situation aren't you telling us about?

Adding calendar invitation to an email
Judy, I also have a need for sending a calendar/meeting invite as a
stand-alone URL link. We do much email blast promotion, and would like to include a direct link to accept the meeting invite, in an effort to improve attrition the day of the event by having a reminder setup in the attendees calendar. We think this will improve attendance. I was advised by LiveMeeting to research Outlook functionality, but as yet have not found a way to create a URL link to a meeting invite.

Adding calendar invitation to an email
There should not be any attendee info on the appointment (only the organizer
would see it) or you can use the resource field (it's the BCC field) for them. Use this method to create one meeting request and save/upload ot your server. You need to invite at least one person, it can be yourself. http://www.slipstick.com/calendar/pickmeeting.htm -- Diane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Author, Teach Yourself Outlook 2003 in 24 Hours Need Help with Common Tasks? http://www.outlook-tips.net/beginner/ Outlook 2007: http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/ol2007/ Outlook Tips by email: Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstick.com Subscribe to Exchange Messaging Outlook newsletter: ** Please include your Outlook version, Account type, and Windows Version when requesting assistance ** "jgoetter" wrote in message ...
