If you’re using DaySchedule to manage your appointments, the invitees has an option to download appointments as iCal (.ics) files to easily add events to their preferred calendar apps like Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, Outlook, or any app that supports the iCalendar format.
In this post, I will show you two simple ways to generate an iCal download link using DaySchedule appointment booking software.
Add to Calendar for Event Managers
- Go to Bookings
- Click on a booking to pen the booking details page
- Click on the Add to Calendar button to top right.
It will open a dialog box with add to calendar options for Google Calendar, Microsoft outlook, Yahoo Calendar, and iCal.ics
Add to Calendar for Invitees
Once someone successfully books an appointment with you, DaySchedule immediately shows a confirmation screen, which includes -
- Appointment summary with date and time
- Add to Calendar buttons (Google, Outlook, Apple etc.)
- A downloadable .ics file link
This allow invitees to click on the link to add to calendar or download event.ics file.
Pro tip: You can add a thank you messages on appointment confirmation screen to share additional details or next step to your customers.
