How to attach a calendar event to a mail? (slrpnk.net)

How to easily send a calendar appointment with Thunderbird?

#Thunderbird #calendar #outlook #gmail

Integrated suites like Outlook or GMail seem to do this easily. I dont see a reason why TB couldnt do this easily too, but I didnt find an option.

I get tons of mails from Outlook users containing a small .ics file with a single appointment.

This is often automated, often with Videocalls.

Thunderbird has a calendar. The auto-detection of these appointments works well, but I could not find how to SEND one.

What I tried:

Attach...
Insert...
on Calendar, right click on an appointment

Neither of these ways allowed me to attach a small .ics file, even though I think I can save an appointment as a .ics file.

My thunderbird sends out invites just fine. Just create an event, invite guests and voila. The adressed people get an according mail. The workflow is not as mature as on outlook though, because you don't get to edit the mail or check availabilities.

Interesting, where do you do that? In the Calendar event edit window?

Yup. There's a tab called attendees. Just add people there by right clicking and make sure notify attendees is checked.
