I am sending a calendar ics file in an email, as an attachment, that I send through the system.
I don't want the user to see the RSVP buttons. I just want the event to be their calendar.
So I use the below to generate iCal using PHP.
Note: text within {{ and }} are my variables.
BEGIN:VCALENDAR
PRODID:-//hacksw/handcal//NONSGML v1.0//EN
VERSION:2.0
CALSCALE:GREGORIAN
METHOD:REQUEST
BEGIN:VEVENT
DTSTART:{{20170108T131000Z}}
DTEND:{{20170108T132500Z}}
DTSTAMP:{{20170108T131000Z}}
ORGANIZER:MAILTO:{{my_email@domain.com}}
URL;VALUE=URI:{{domain.com/123456}}

ATTENDEE;CUTYPE=INDIVIDUAL;ROLE=CHAIR;PARTSTAT=ACCEPTED;RSVP=FALSE;CN={{ParticipantName}};X-NUM-GUESTS=0:mailto:{{participant@gmail.com}}
DESCRIPTION:{{Description test \n Line1 \n Line 3}}
LOCATION:{{Location information \n Line1 \n Line2}}
SEQUENCE:0
STATUS:CONFIRMED
SUMMARY:{{Summary text}}
TRANSP:OPAQUE
END:VEVENT
END:VCALENDAR
Once I send this to Gmail it does not show the RSPV buttons. But if I send the same mail to Yahoo OR Outlook it always display the RSVP buttons.
I set the,
- STATUS to CONFIRMED in VEVENT
- PARTSTAT to ACCEPTED and RSVP to FALSE in ATTENDEE
Can anybody help me to figure out why I see the RSVP buttons even with the above settings?
Thanks in advance!
