Simple proof-of-concept to create a .ics calendar event with visualforce. | |
Inspired by Natalie Regier @gnatrae | |
This example uses url parameters to set the details of event. | |
You could create a custom button that invokes this page, like: | |
https://<your-salesforce-domain>/apex/vCalendarPage?start={!TEXT(Obj.StartDate__c)}&end={!TEXT(Obj.EndDate__c)}&subject=Event from Visualforce&description=This .ics event created with visualforce&location=The Cloud | |
An example with literal values you can copy & paste in your browser: | |
https://<your-salesforce-domain>/apex/vCalendarPage?start=20140524T140000&end=20140524T153000&subject=Event from Visualforce&description=This .ics event created with visualforce&location=The Cloud | |
--> | |
<apex:page title="event.ics" contentType="text/calendar" cache="false"> | |
