"add to calendar" links

[omarcostahamido]

I just realized that you can create a link for a google calendar event with some content in it.

Example:

https://calendar.google.com/calendar/u/0/r/eventedit?dates=20200917T060000Z/20200917T070000Z&text=my+custom+calendar+event&details=This+is+a+test+of+a+programatically+created+calendar+event.

This will create an event name my custom calendar event

text=my+custom+calendar+event

Between 11pm sep 16, 2020 and 12am sep 17, 2020. Yes you need to thing GMT+0 here.

dates=20200917T060000Z/20200917T070000Z

And with the description text This is a test of a programatically created calendar event.:

details=This+is+a+test+of+a+programatically+created+calendar+event.

We can also scratch this idea and just allow people to add the public calendar to their account.
But I think it would be nice to send links like these on the newsletters for upcoming meeting events.
