HubSpot Add Calendar Link to Email

To include a calendar link in a HubSpot email, you can utilize services like Google Calendar, Outlook, or Apple Calendar to create an event and then share the event link within your email. Here's how you can do it for each calendar type:

• Google Calendar: Create the event in Google Calendar and make it public. After saving the event, use the "Publish event" option to get a shareable link. In HubSpot, edit your email and insert this link, allowing recipients to add the event to their Google Calendar.
• Outlook Calendar: In Outlook, create an appointment (not a meeting) and save it. Then, generate an .ics file by forwarding the appointment as an iCalendar. Upload this .ics file to HubSpot's file manager, copy its URL, and insert it into your email.
• Apple Calendar: Create an event in Apple Calendar and drag the event to your desktop to create an .ics file. Upload this file to HubSpot's file manager, copy the URL, and include it in your email.

For a more interactive approach, you can use "Add to Calendar" buttons in your emails. This requires a third-party service like AddEvent, which provides a straightforward way to generate these buttons:

1. Create your event on AddEvent.com and navigate to the "Add to Calendar links" section.
2. Copy the provided link or button code.
3. In HubSpot, paste this code into your email editor where you want the button to appear.

This method simplifies the process for recipients to add your event to their calendars with just a click, enhancing user experience.

HubSpot's marketing calendar can also be leveraged to plan and schedule email campaigns around important dates or events. While not directly related to embedding calendar links or buttons in emails, the marketing calendar tool helps marketers maintain an organized schedule of email sends, ensuring timely and relevant communications.
