Help for Email Me Event Info

In the Event Actions window where you clicked Help, the events that you selected in the website calendar appear at the top. If you selected more than one event, you probably have to scroll to see them all.

In the bottom half of the window, you see a request for information.

  1. Type the requested information and then click Send Email.
  2. You see confirmation that the reminder will be sent. Click Close Window to close the Event Actions window and return to the website calendar. Or, from the menu on the left, choose another action you want to take with the events.

I got an error message that my email address isn't valid.

Make sure your email address is in standard Internet (SMTP) name@domain format. You can't send messages to email addresses in any other format.

Why would I attach event information as iCalendar (.ics) files?

iCalendar (.ics) is a standard calendar file format that almost all calendar programs support. By opening or importing an iCalendar file, you can add an event to your personal calendar. When you're emailing event information to yourself, you might want to attach iCalendar files if:

  • You're browsing the Web at an Internet cafe or using some other computer besides your own where you aren't able to add events directly to your own calendar.
  • You use a calendar program that isn't on the list of programs to which you can directly add events (that list includes Yahoo!™, Microsoft® Office Outlook®, MSN® Hotmail®, Apple® iCal®, Google™ or AOL® calendars.
What happens if I select the option to be notified if the event changes?

If you select that option and the event organizer changes the event's time or location or cancels the event, you'll receive an email message notifying you about the changes.
