iCalendar is a file format that allows Internet users to send meeting requests, contacts and tasks through email and other digital methods.
- iCalendar file formats store event, list and contact information.
- The file extensions used include .ics for iCalendar / iTodo and .vcf for vcards (contacts).
- Popular uses of iCalendar and vcards include sharing events, to-do lists, and contact information as file attachments in electronic communications like email and text messaging.
Contents
System Supported Email Attachments
- 3 email attachments types are supported: "ievent", "itodo" and "icard".
- The SmartSimple email engine will look for email contents that have ievent, itodo, and icard objects. The contents of these objects are assembled and added as email attachments.
- The email engine will process iCalendar objects using the following syntax:
- "@@ievent"
- "@@itodo"
- "@@icard"
