On many occasions it is not enough to send a simple mailing, but we want our subscribers to remember a specific date that is relevant to them, whether it is because there is a raffle, a special promotion or an event that we want them to attend. To do this, an option frequently suggested by clients is to add the event to the user's calendar.
\nHowever, something that seems so simple can present certain complications due to the variety of calendars and devices. So it's not enough to just put a single \"add the event to your calendar\" link, as it won't work for everyone.
\nAfter researching the issue and trying different methods, the solution that seems to work well in all environments, although far from perfect, is the following:
\nDesk<\/strong>
\nIn order to reach as many users as possible, we must allow the event to be added to at least the three main calendars<\/strong>i.e, Google Calendar, iCal and Outlook<\/strong>by means of 3 different buttons or links.
\nTo do this, you will have to create the event in the calendar and save the file with the .ics extension for iCal and Outlook (iCalendar format). These will have to be hosted later to be accessible via a link to a url. It should be noted that the hosting has to be done in servers WebDAV<\/a>otherwise the download of the .ics file will not work. An easy solution is to use the sending platform itself to host these files. Once this is done, clicking on them in the email will download the .ics file that will allow us to open the event in our Outlook or mac calendar.
\nAdd the event to your Outlook calendar<\/a>
\nAdd the event to your iCal calendar<\/a>
\nFor Google Calendar<\/strong>In contrast, no attachment is needed, but it is accessed via url. We can create the event and copy the link with the option to publish the event:
\n

\"publicar-evento\"<\/a>
Code provided by Google Calendar with Publish event option<\/figcaption><\/figure>
\nWe can also create the url ourselves by modifying the parameters we are interested in and have more control over them. See url example:
\nhttps:\/\/calendar.google.com\/calendar\/render?action=TEMPLATE
\n&text=Digital+event
\n&dates=20170727T170000\/20170727T183000
\n&details=We+invite+you+to+our+event
\n&location=Barcelona
\n&trp=false#eventpage_6
\nMobile<\/strong>
\nFor devices Iphone<\/strong> is as simple as keeping the same desktop link to the .ics file and, by clicking on it, the application will open directly.<\/p>\n
For Android<\/strong> more problems arise. One option is to also keep the same desktop link to Google Calendar, which will open the calendar application on newer versions and the mobile web version on older devices.<\/div>\n
After testing different methods, we have found that there is also an alternative. If users have the Google Calendar application, clicking on an .ics file and opening it will also launch the application, just like on Iphone devices. However, doing this step without the calendar application will result in an error.<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
Through the deeplinking<\/strong> Many brands allow access to mobile applications from email, this is possible through a redirection from a website, which recognises the device and whether or not it has the application through javascript, so that in the email you only have to use a link to a url. So we can access an app if the web allows the redirection.<\/div>\n

As you can see, the methods outlined here allow you to add an event to your calendar on both mobile and desktop, although there are some limitations and complications.
\nWe invite you to share with us your opinion or your method for adding an event to a calendar, overcoming the problems presented by the variety of devices and platforms.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
