    I'd like to add a link to the receiver's calendar in the thank you form.

    When the receiver click on the link, the meeting to which he registered goes directly in his personal calendar (outlook, ical, etc).

    How can I do that?

     

    Thanks for your support

    Hello Cindy,

    It seems you want to add the event in the email client when the email will be opened. Is that correct?

    To achieve your requirement, an "ics" file needs to be generated on the fly. When the email is loaded in the email client, it will give you the link asking for user to add it to the calendar. As it is not possible to add any sort of script code in your form or thank you message, I believe it may be possible to achieve your requirement by taking advantage of "Custom Thank You URL". 

    User will be redirected to your own thank you page where you can add script to achieve your requirement.

    You may like to take a look at the "jQuery iCalendar" which will give you the code to record the event.

    Hope this helps.

    Do get back to us if you have any questions.

    Thank you!
