Add iCal to Outlook not showing meeting detail column

Beej1962

Hi. I am new. I created a smartsheet, in calendar view, I created an ical link to add to my local outlook. It imports ok, however, it doesn't show the event details/ which are in another column in the grid. Any way to add another column like event details?

Hi @Beej1962

Yes, but you’ll have to add them together in the Primary column.

Make sense?

Would that work/help?

I hope that helps!

Be safe and have a fantastic weekend!

Thanks, that kind of helped, but not ideal. Since in every event in this calendar, this string is in the event info instead of the zoom link, the string is moot and confusing for the end user, since the audience for this iCal are external non smartsheet users:

"This event was published from the Smartsheet named "BCI Board Events". Click here to edit the Smartsheet item: https://app.smartsheet.com/sheets/vrjQ9jj39rjg9P5fcwj3X86mWJrqcmpx2Gvj3JR1?rowId=29521zz644019332996"

It would be nice if the default Calendar Event field with this message in it could be mapped to an Event field in the SS calendar for 1) to remove the vanilla messaging and 2) allows event info to be added.
