Question

I’m tasked with leveraging MailChimp to send a newsletter email while also sending an Outlook or Teams Meeting invite so it populates the end users Outlook calendar with a request to mark Accept, Tentative or Deny. Is this possible? We’re not looking to apply an attachment .ics file or have them click a RSVP button in the email newsletter, we want them to have a calendar entry in their Outlook Calendars similar if the email was sent from Outlook.

Hi @cfraser 

You can build a webhook URL (from webhook by zapier) with containing email address variable as URL parameter. Then just add the URL in your newsletter where people can click on the link and you can use the webhook as a trigger to setup an Outlook event via Zapier.

The webhook will look like hook.zapier.com/****?email=%person_email%
