I am using a triggered rule and have it where it sends an e-mail to an arbitrary mail address. All of this is working fine with no issues.

What I would like to accomplish is to have it send as a iCal event or meeting notice instead of just a regular e-mail with text. I would be fine with it sending a regular e-mail and having an iCal file attach, but the iCal file would need built on the fly since it is based on the event being created.

A little background:

I'm running a calendar site and there are options to request services when creating an event. If you request a photographer, it e-mails the photographer to let them know they are needed at the event. Right now, it can send the plain e-mail and then the photographer will need to manually add the event to their calendar. I would like to have it e-mailed as a appointment, meeting, ical so they can automatially have the event on their calendar.

Thank you,
Shane

Thank you for submitting a support request / issue for Rules 1. Sorry it was not attended to earlier; I hope you found the information you were seeking in another resource, such as the Rules Drupal 6 documentation.

Because it has been a while since it was first submitted, I'm closing it to clear up space. However, if you would still like to submit another support request or help answer others support requests, your efforts would be welcomed and appreciated.

I have gone through the documentation and cannot find any way to send an iCal event for the node that is being triggered. I can send all of the information in the body of the email, but not send it as a iCal.

Any other ideas beyond what is posted in documentation?

Thank you,
Shane

Sorry for closing your support request.

ical is not an included output format for nodes, so any tool you use find for rendering a node into ical file will be from contrib, and documentation on ical and Rules has not been contributed yet. You can make it if you're interested. Here are a couple of ideas (both 7.x):
