MS Office Forum / Outlook / Calendaring / July 2006How do I put an "ADD TO CALENDAR" button in my email?
I want to be able to send out an email with information about a meeting, and inside the email have a button that says "ADD TO CALENDAR" on which they can press and open a calendar invite. I have seen other emails with this option, but I don't know how they did this... Create the appointment in Outlook, then use the Forward as vCal or Forward as iCal command to include the appointment as an attachment in your message. Your message should instruct the user to double-click the file and open it.

Either forward as iCal or create a meeting request by using the Invite Recipients command on the appointment.
