Created by: Laura Xie on 01-07-2009 07:02:57 PM We are trying to use XML API to register attendees to an existing Event. The attendee receives email notifications after registration through both XML API or manual on-line registration. When comparing the two emails, there is no iCalendar attachment (.ics) file when registering through XML API, but there was an attachment when registering on-line. We picked Plain Text email format, and used Approved#1 template that was default. I tried some email template tags found in the API document by editing the event Email Template. The tags include: %iCalendarText% %DownloadToCalendarURL% %DownloadToCalendarLink% None of them got interpreted in the notification email, so they didn't work. Do you know how to make it work? It is a critical business functionality for us. Either attachment or link will be acceptable. Thank you. -Laura

Replied by: Kingsley Lewis on 10-07-2009 09:30:11 PM Hi Laura, The email templates and tags work for Meeting Center, but unfortnately not on Event Center. For Event Center you will want to use the URL API to make sure that the registrants get the ics file in their email. This will not be a link, but will be an attachment on the email that can be used to add the event to their calendar. The basic format for this url is http://{sitename}.webex.com/{sitename}/onstage/m.php?AT=EN&AE=AttendeeEmail&FN=FirstName&LN=LastName&MK=MeetingKey The addition of /onstage/ is a shortcut to go directly to the event center service. Thank you -Kingsley
