Attach an event in newsletters
If you send emails using a Mail API or your own code you can
attach an event file in an email.
In the example you'll find an example
on how to attach an event using the Mandrill Mail API.
The same technique can be applied to almost any other service used for sending out emails.

// Get event file for attachment
$attachment = file_get_contents('https://www.addevent.com/dir/?
client=USER-CLIENT-ID&start=10%2F19%2F2024+09%3A00+AM&
end=10%2F19%2F2024+11%3A00+AM&title=Title+of+the+event&
description=Description+of+the+event&timezone=America%2FLos_Angeles&
service=stream');
// Event file: Base 64 encode the event file
$attachment_encoded = base64_encode($attachment);
// Set message object
$compose = array(
'html' => 'Email content',
'subject' => 'Email subject',
'from_email' => 'from@example.com',
'to' => array(
array(
'email' => 'to@example.com'
)
),
'attachments' => array(
array(
'content' => $attachment_encoded,
'type' => 'text/calendar',
'name' => 'event.ics',
)
)
);
// Send the email
$response = $mandrill->messages->send($compose);
