How to attach an Ical file to a email sent to activity's assignee on the fly?
November 09, 2010, 06:53:32 pm
CIVICRM automatically sends an email to assignees of an activity. I'm looking for a solution which can attach an Ical file to the email on the fly. The Ical file contains the information of the activity, just like the content of the email generated by civicrm. Could anyone give me a heads up?

Cheers,
George

you can potentially use the mail alter hook to add the attachment

I know this thread is very old, but just wondering if there's any interest having this in core? George did you ever write code for this?

Anyone think this would need to be configurable? I don't think so since recipients could just ignore the attachment if they don't want to add it to their calendar.

Then are there any objections to having this in core?

since this request has not come up a lot,

How about having a setting for this with the default set to no

thanx

For 4.3, in admin settings -> Display Preferences there'll be a checkbox to include ical attachments to activity assignees.
