I would like to use the module with the Rules module to send a meeting request. How would I need to format the information to send this when the rule is triggered? I can use the send mail to arbitrary mail address, but do not know how to format the message. I have dates/times, location, description information.

Thank you,
Shane

I tried using the following code to build the attachment as content, but it does not send anything. I only receive the e-mail message, no attachment.

<?php
$msg_text .= "BEGIN:VCALENDAR";
$msg_text .= "PRODID:-//Microsoft Corporation//Outlook 11.0 MIMEDIR//EN";
$msg_text .= "VERSION:2.0";
$msg_text .= "METHOD:REQUEST";
$msg_text .= "BEGIN:VEVENT";
$msg_text .= "ORGANIZER:MAILTO:calendar@fairmontstate.edu";
$msg_text .= "DTSTART:20120118T170000Z";
$msg_text .= "DTEND:20120119T035959Z";
$msg_text .= "UID:12929kalsjflasjkdf912929292";
$msg_text .= "LOCATION:my meeting location";
$msg_text .= "TRANSP:OPAQUE";
$msg_text .= "SEQUENCE:0";
$msg_text .= "DTSTAMP:20120112T045649Z";
$msg_text .= "CATEGORIES:Meeting";
$msg_text .= "DESCRIPTION:meeting description, line 1 of 2.\nline 2 of 2.\n\n";
$msg_text .= "SUMMARY:meeting subject";
$msg_text .= "PRIORITY:5";
$msg_text .= "X-MICROSOFT-CDO-IMPORTANCE:1";
$msg_text .= "CLASS:PUBLIC";
$msg_text .= "BEGIN:VALARM";
$msg_text .= "TRIGGER:-ET5M";
$msg_text .= "ACTION:DISPLAY";
$msg_text .= "DESCRIPTION:Reminder";
$msg_text .= "END:VALARM";
$msg_text .= "BEGIN:VTIMEZONE";
$msg_text .= "TZID:US/Eastern";
$msg_text .= "END:VTIMEZONE";
$msg_text .= "END:VEVENT";
$msg_text .= "END:VCALENDAR";

$attachments = array( array(
    'filecontent' => $msg_text,
    'filename' => 'calendarrequest.ics',
    'filemime' => 'text/calendar'
  ));

?>

You can't specify attachments by content via the Rules UI.

Is there any other way to accomplish this?

What I am trying to do:

I have a calendar system. When someone creates an event, they have an option to request a photographer. If they request the photographer, I want to send the photographer an e-mail with an ical attachment that will allow the photographer to easily accept the event and have it added to their calendar.

Thank you,
Shane
