Calendar token

[Anonymous]

Hi!

I'm trying to set this up, but it's not working. In my Webinar Program, I want to include the unique code and the registration code(GoToWebinar) for registered in my save the date Calendar file/token but the tokens are not showing as links in the ICS file when you download it in Outlook.

Is anybody have an idea how to fix that?

Thanks.

Hi guys

This normally works 100% because we have been using them for our webinars also (WebEx).

Here's one of ours for example. We create a local token within that program

The product docs page here shows the same thing so I know I am not going mental (well not completely anyway )

I have raised a support ticket and will update when we hear back from Marketo

Cheers

{{member.tokens}}

not

{{my.tokens}}

[Colin_Ryder]

Good point.... didn't see that bit

[Phillip_Wild]

I just tried this and weirdly couldn't get a {{my.token}} to populate either in the title (expected) or the description (not expected, since the token selector allows you to select {{my.tokens}}.

Anyone know why?

[SanfordWhiteman]

Still workin' for me. You're not trying to use a Velocity token, are you?

P.S. Agical is way better. 🙂

[Phillip_Wild]

What.

So much better!!! Thanks so much. I'll just implement this instead of the Marketo default.

Magic as usual Sanford!

Hey Sanford, I've popped in Agical and it's working like a charm. Thanks again.

One weird thing though: when using Zoom for our meetings and this service, when we use the {{member.webinar url}} token in the description field, it saves to Google Calendar - but it comes up with a message that says "Error: not meeting host". It still saves ok, but I'm wondering how we get rid of it...

I'm guessing it's something to do with Zoom?

Oh, and to be clear, I'm using this URL:

http://ics.agical.io/?subject=G%20Adventures%20Geo%20Party%20Trivia%20%2D%20{{my.region}}&amp;locati... start time}}&amp;dtend={{my.url end time}}&amp;description=Join%20here%3A%20{{member.webinar url}}&amp;format=gcal"> <img src="https://letsgo.gadventures.com/rs/110-AIL-152/images/Google-Calendar-Icon-670x295.jpg

All the other parameters are fine and are working as expected:

{{my.region}} = Europe

{{my.url start time}} = 2020-06-02T19:00:00%2B10:00

{{my.url end time}} = 2020-06-02T20:00:00%2B10:00

{{member.webinar url}} populates just fine in the description, but it seems like it has some connection with the meeting host?

You actually should be using the alt_sep variation, see here: https://nation.marketo.com/t5/Product-Discussions/on24-Member-Webinar-URL-not-working-in-Google-cale...

Hi Sanford

Hmm....but my member URL link only has one parameter. So while that seems like good practice, it wouldn't matter here would it? The link and all the functionality works, it's just it triggers a message in Google Calendar.

Weirdly, when I put "alt_sep" in the URL as you have in that article, instead of opening in Google Calendar, it downloads an .ical file instead. Does that mess with the format=gcal parameter?

[SanfordWhiteman]

What's the full rendered URL (with the {{member.webinar url}})?

(and actually even with 1 param you should use alt_sep)

Weirdly, when I just used that link I didn't get the error I was mentioning. Although, I'm creating a new one of these tomorrow (we run them weekly) so I'll post that link when I get it and if I get the same error.

If I recall correctly those {{member.tokens}} are quite ephemeral and only exist in the context of registration confirmation. But you may be able to copy (​Change Data Value​) them onto a lead field. Of course that would only hold the last​ registration info but might be fine for you.
