Insert "Add to Calendar" link into email

Two ideas : 1. Allow event announcements to be added to my calendar to be posted on web site. 2. My calendar should help us capture contact info. If someone views my calendar have a pop-up that asks if their information can be added to the contact list. No one wants to go to another form to complete anymore. As you know, sites are using google or facebook log-on button so you do not have to type info. Typing info over and over again is passe

Hi everyone, we apologize this feature is not yet available!

 

There are many factors that are used to decide what is added to or updated in our product which can cause us to sometimes not have a timeline for when a feature will be available. Though this may be the case, we are continuing to collect feedback and requests on this feature through this thread. The more requests an idea receives the higher a priority it can be given by our Product Team. We will also reach back put to this thread when we have any further updates.

Any update?

Anyone visiting this thread please vote for this feature/resolution at the top of the first page - or let the rest of us know if you found a different provider who can embed. Does anyone know if mailchimp can provide?

This functionality was asked about in 2014 - has constant contact added it yet in 2018?

Add a way to upload an ics file. I'd like to be able to create a link or button to connect to a .ics file. i.e. "Save the Date", which would then download the .ics file for them to add to their calendar.  I know how to link to the .ics file outside of Constant Contact, but it would be very convenient to be able to do this all inside of the application. See list of others requesting same: https://community.constantcontact.com/t5/Need-help-with-something-else/Upload-an-ics-file/m-p/311444...

Status changed to: Voting Open

Hey @TonyB137, thanks for sharing this feedback! I've set this to "Voting Open" so we can get some further feedback from other users on this ability. Is this something you do for events and if so, would it be helpful for you to have the ability to create your own "Save the date" link within an email that included an ICS file that users could add to their calendar? 

 

Make sure to "Kudo" this idea if you agree!
