Feature Request: Send Calendar Item as Attachment

Forms Ideas
Updated January 12, 2017
asked on June 10, 2015

We have a couple of forms that refer to when an employee is hired or their last working day. Most of the time we are sending notification emails making certain people aware that they need to do something in their systems to enable or disable accounts for the individuals. It would be nice if we could take that date and create a calendar item that could be attached to the email notification that is sent out so it could remind them without getting another email.

What about just using the icalendar attachment in workflow? It is not as streamlined as a normal exchange accept/decline but only takes an extra click.

Make Workflow do it for you with an Exchange Task.

Can it attach a calendar item to an email? The idea is that the employee can make the decision if they want to add it to their calendar or not. By supplying a calendar event as an attachment they would have the ability to open and save it or just ignore it.

Oh, wait, I totally read this wrong. I thought you wanted it to automatically show in the calendar without giving the user the options to accept it. Create Exchange Item does create a file that you can send by email. The recipient can add it to the calendar or delete/ignore it. (Create iCalendar Item does the same thing for generic SMTP servers.)

That may be a viable option. I will need to move all of our current notifications into a workflow, but it may well be worth it.

Do you have icalendar event working?  I want to send an event request to an exchange email user to add an event to their calendar.  I've been using the icalendar activity in workflow 10; but, not finding helpful resources.  

did icalendar actually work for you?  or did you use create exchange item activity?
