Google calendar in Marketo Emails

I'm trying to incorporate google calendar in marketo email. Yes, it is working and reflecting when using kalinka.tardate.com but the time zone is not reflecting. May I know ways on how the time zone will appear once they click the link that generated on that app? Or is there any better solution for to incorporate google calendar in the email?

for instance, this link is generated and can be incorporate in the email but the time zone is not reflecting, it should be SGT

Hi @Jimgirls1 

 

Ideally, Google Calendar updates the lead's local time as per their timezone. The only scenario where Google fails to update is due to Daylight savings. 

 

Thanks!

Why, exactly, should it be SGT? You’re sending UTC (Z) and as Jasbir says, the only other info Google has is the Google user’s timezone.

If you'd like to make this scalable in Marketo and built on tokens, I'd recommend looking at Sanford Whiteman's free-to-use Agical product. https://nation.marketo.com/t5/product-discussions/introducing-agical-io-the-smarter-ics-file-generat...
