Unable to apply ICS token to an image

[Dan_Stevens_]

We are using a calendar icon in our emails to allow recipients to add an event to their calendar.  I though I could just copy the entire token "{{my.Save The Date:default=}}" to the image URL within the HTML editor.  But when I test this, the URL turns into the following (this is what I see when I hover my mouse over the image.  Clicking on it does nothing):

<a href = 'http://our.domain.com/save+the+date.ics'>Add%20to%20your%20calendar</a>

This is an invalid URL.  Based on the URL when just the token is used (without an image), it should simply be:

our.domain.com/save+the+date.ics

Has anyone had success using images and ICS tokens?

Did you format the code like this?

<a href="http://{{my.Save The Date}}"><img src="image.png /></a>

I simply placed the token in the Link URL field (see below).

Try writing 'http://{{my.Save The Date}} and see if it works.

I've just discovered nothing is working when sent as part of the campaign flow - even the custom token text is blank.  When I send as sample/test, it works fine.  Using Outlook 2013/Win8.

Hi, not sure if you're still having this issue, but I do something different which may work:

If you build your .ics file corrently and attach it in a mail (even a test mail is fine). Send yourself the email and when you click the .ics file, make sure you save this file to your local desktop. You'll have this file stored locally now, then upload this file into the desgin studio (I have a folder for .ics files). Once uploaded you'll have the marketo url for the file. You should now be able to use this in your email/image.

Hope that helps.
