Outlook calender invite creation

Question

Good day,

I have a user who wants to have a survey that, when completed, will generate an Outlook calendar entry for the user taking the survey.

I have seen some information on adding a Google calendar entry, but we specifically need it to be for Outlook.

Is there a way to do this in Qualtrics without the need of a third party service? I haven;t been able to find a solution.

Thanks,

JohnB

Hi John, I have done this in a free but little but clunky manner using a link that I send through a workflow email that is triggered when a survey response is submitted. Below is the email

${q://QID2/ChoiceTextEntryValue/1}:

Thank you for registering for the EVENT TITLE session on ${q://QID1/ChoiceGroup/SelectedChoices}.

Please click the link below to add this event to your Outlook calendar. The link will download a file into your Internet browser. You must open the downloaded file and then save the the Outlook event that opens in order to have this show up on your calendar.

${e://Field/MeetingInvite}

1) Click the link above

2) Open the downloaded file

3) Save the Outlook event
