Day one using Zapier and I’m feeling very frustrated by my inability to execute a simple task. I can find any helpful tutorials or Q&A’s in the community, on zapier’s website or anywhere else.

All I want to do is create a calendar event, and add “add event to your calendar” button to my Flodesk email campaign.

My understanding was that I would need to use Addevent and Flodesk to do this, but I can’t make sense of how any of the Flodesk “trigger events” are applicable here.

I’m not very good with technology, so anyone who can walk me how to add the button to an email campaign would be very appreciated! Thanks for any help.

Hi there @dsds,

Unfortunately, there isn’t a supported action step to add a button to your Flodesk email campaign. I recommend reaching out to our Support Team to create a feature request on your behalf.

You can reach our Support Team here: https://zapier.com/app/get-help

I appreciate your patience and understanding.


Hey @dsds👋

I just came across this and couldn’t see any tickets open with our Support team about this. Were you since able to get this sorted on your own?

If not, I expect you’d need to use some HTML code to create a button to add the event to the person’s calendar directly in the email campaign itself. 

Rather than adding a button to the email campaign to have folks add the event to their calendar an alternative approach could be to have a Zap add the user to the calendar event in your calendar. I’m not sure what calendar app you’re using but the Google Calendar app for example has an Add Attendee/S to Event action that would allow you to add new attendees in AddEvent to the event which would sent them a calendar invite.

Keen to ensure you’re all set here so please keep us updated on how you’re getting on! 🙂
