Inclued a Google calendar invite on generated ticket

[johnny]

Hi how would I go about adding a Google calendar invite to the automatically generated RSVP or Woo Commerce Tickets?

Also would it be possible to resend the original ticket RSVP or Woo Commerce Event to the attendees as a reminder email prior to an event commencing?

Hello Johnny,

Thanks for using our plugins and for getting in touch with your questions.

 

Hi how would I go about adding a Google calendar invite to the automatically generated RSVP or Woo Commerce Tickets?

You could create a template override for the email that is being sent out.

Here is a link to our Themer’s Guide that should help you get started in doing a template override.

https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/themers-guide/

 

Also would it be possible to resend the original ticket RSVP or Woo Commerce Event to the attendees as a reminder email prior to an event commencing?

I believe this would be possible manually if you go to the WooCommerce order page of the tickets, and there in the top right corner in the “Order actions” box you should be able to find “Resend tickets”.

If you want to automate that, then a plugin like Follow Up Emails might help you with that.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have more questions regarding this.

Cheers,
Andras

Hi Andras, I had a look at guide you supplied. very confusing not sure which ticket file to edit. I just want to add “goggle cal” to both RSVP and Woocomerce tickets that get emailed out. Is there some kind of simpler way to do this.

Thanks
Johnny

Hey Johnny,

I’ll check if there is a simple solution for this.

Will get back to you soon.

Johnny, you can try this:

Add the following snippet to your child theme’s functions.php file:

add_action ( 'tribe_tickets_ticket_email_ticket_bottom', 'add_gcal_to_email' );
function add_gcal_to_email() {
echo "Hello, this is the extra text";
}

Adjust the text to your needs.

The ticket will look like this:

 

This is the easiest it can go.

You can of course have a longer text, multiple lines and html markup in there as well.

Let me know if this solves it for you.

Cheers,
Andras

Hi Andras I did what you said but I seem to get a syntax error on line 18 please see screen shot.

Hi Andras, I did some updates and gave it another go. Seemed to sort of work. Now the text seems to work… But i thought this would be the event gcal link to the event. Is it possible to add the link or have the ical and gcal buttons at the bottom of the email. please see screen images attached.

Thanks

Johnny

Hi Johnny,

Let me check that for you and I’ll let you know.

Howdy Johnny,

Andras has been pretty swamped the last little bit and asked me to take a look at this.

I think this code snippet is exactly what you’re looking for:

https://gist.github.com/elimn/dd7de019f478bd151ca14cafe7d284f1

That will add a working Gcal link to the email template. Note, the Email template does not include any “button” styling, so this is just a plain blue link by default. If you want to style it up you will need add some CSS that changes the look from a regular link to a button. But regardless of how it looks, it should work as you’ve described. 🙂

Let us know if that helped. Cheers!

Hi Brook, that codes snippet seemed to work a treat. Would you Also have a code snippet to add an iCal beneath the gCal link.

Thanks
Johnny

[Andras]

Hey Johnny,

Brook was kind enough to help out with that as well.

Try this snippet for the iCal.

https://gist.github.com/andrasguseo/4a0ade5be8495c5dac34fc5a17f6dc59

Let me know how that works out.

If you want the ical link in a new line, then you might need to add a “<br>” before the

<a class="tribe-events-ical

in this second snippet.

Does this do the trick?

Andras

[johnny]

Hi Andras, this did the trick attached is a screen shot. Thank you again for the code snippet.
