iCal/ics File Generation

What it is

Ics files (aka iCal Files) hold all event information, following a global standard (RFC 5545) and can be imported into any calendar application.

How you can benefit from it

When strictly following the guidelines, the iCal format ensures your events are accessible and easily added to users' personal calendars across various platforms.

Furthermore, adding such files to an email, usually leads to the email client recognizing the event and offering the user to save it to their calendar.

What to mind when selecting a provider

1. Creating ics files is easy. Creating them in a way that works across all platforms, devices, and cases can be tough, as it requires proper time zone information and a lot of tiny details to comply with. Most fail here.
2. That's why you should look for a provider that offers a reliable and robust iCal file generation service, which does include things like time zone management (incl. DST) and matching the attendee.
