We are all looking for the ability to insert a "link" (like we can for anchor, website, or e-mail address) to a vcf file so thatwhen a user clicks the link it opens a calendar appt file and allows you to saves it to Outlook or an ics file so it can be used in other calendars like google.
Just like we upload images to be used in our e-mail marketing, we would like the ability to create a vcf or ics file (via a cool constant contact page...that would save the vcf or ics file to a location - just like we have for "documents" and "images" - call it "Calendar Links"). Then we could choose to link and insert it into our e-mail marketing. This functionality would be like using the e-mail link and clicking on the advanced e-mail features.
I would see myself going to a "Create a Calendar Link" page in Constant Contact where I would be asked:
Headline: Description:
Location*:
Organizer: (these could populate from CC)
Organizer E-Mail:(these could populate from CC)
Time Zone: (these could populate from CC)
Start Date/Time:
End Date/Time:
* would be super cool if this location could link to google maps...
Clicking on a submit or generate button would add a set of buttons into the e-mail that when a user clicked one of them would create a calendar events in the receivers calendar of choice. The buttons could be in a row like this
