"add to calendar" option when user RSVPs

I would love if when someone RSVPs for an event, they get presented with an option to add it to their own calendar. I just saw this done in Circle. Here's a screenshot. When clicking, you get a drop-down of different calendars you could add to.

    Also right on the event itself, it would be great to have the "add to calendar" option. I don't want to have to go fish for an email to get something into my calendar. I want to be able to do it right there when I'm looking at the event in the communitiy.

    We notice members missing events because they weren’t nudged enough to add it to their personal calendar.
    As a consequence, they forgot to builder their calendar around the community events and had double appointments or just plain forgot.
    On top of Misty’s suggestion, I’d also like to see ical attachments with any follow-up / reminder emails (currently they’re only send along with the first email for a “new” event.

    HB calendar was working super wonky for folks in my community yesterday which raised up this particular problem and request….the ONLY calendar it appears to directly ad to is gcal but like Misty says - logins don't always align with gcal and having to go hunt for an email and add the .ics is cumbersome.

    This was raised in 2022…any ideas on when this will be addressed?

    This would be brilliant - anything to cut down on the need for email reminders as my clients can find their inboxes already overflowing!

    Agreed. There are a few similar requests - might be worth combining them Nick Barba?

    The email address I use for Heartbeat is not the email address I use for my calendar, so using whatever RSVP type buttons that Gmail offers from the confirmation email doesn't really work well for me.

      Misty Dorman: Me too! Also I help people with businesses and they often use their business email to join, not their personal.
