    <p>I think it all depends on the browser and device setup and/or whether they have the capability. There is no universal way to force an ics file to be added/subscribed to or imported into someone's calendar app.</p> <p>Desktop browsers by default are set to pass the ics link to whatever they think your calendar application is. (But I For example always open ics files in notepad for testing purposes )</p> <p>Apparently iphone auto subscribe used to work, but no longer does: <a href="http://blog.fosketts.net/2011/01/13/apple-breaks-ics-calendar-autosubscription-ios-42/" rel="nofollow">http://blog.fosketts.net/2011/01/13/apple-breaks-ics-calendar-autosubscription-ios-42/</a> People now have to 'subscribe' or import very deliberately. </p> <p>This may be for good 'privacy' reasons - I can imagine many folks may click on a link without realising that it is going to load events into their calendar.. could be bad.</p> <p>They only way that I know of that can be done more directly is for google calendar - what I call the "add to google" option. - one just needs to create a link with the right parameters and if people are logged in to gooogle, it will start creating an event with those details - the user still has to 'save' of course.</p> <p>ONe possibility that may work a little better is to have a link that 'emails' them the isc file. Some email applications expect to deal with ics invites.</p> <p><a href="https://discussions.apple.com/message/10022359#10022359" rel="nofollow">https://discussions.apple.com/message/10022359#10022359</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.fulltimecasual.com/apple/iphone/accepting-ics-invitations-on-iphone" rel="nofollow">http://www.fulltimecasual.com/apple/iphone/accepting-ics-invitations-on-iphone</a></p> <p>I'd be interested to know how you go with this.
