Add To Calendar Action or workflow?
Quote from anguyen on October 20, 2023, 6:21 pmHello,
I am currently using nitro workflow to transmit an email once a new item is created onto sharepoint list/calendar. One quick question, is it possible to add the email with a 'add to calendar' button?
Or is there any other options to have this available?

Do you mean to add something like a .ics file that the user can download to add to their Outlook calendar? We don't have anything like that out of the box. But let me check around if there is some other way to achieve this.

That is correct. I'm trying to figure out how to generate an .ics file within a workflow and attach it to the "send an email" action. I'm currently working with a classic calendar list in SharePoint, which offers a useful feature that allows you to "add to calendar .ics file." However, the modern calendar list lacks this feature and doesn't integrate with Outlook.
I've been researching ways to make this work, and I'm considering whether Crow Canyon might have a solution that can help. If you have any suggestions or ideas, I'm open to hearing them!
