Has anyone heard when this will be added? i get asked all the time why does our add to calendar not let people add to their work google calendar. I think it makes us look very unprofessional when people can't actually add to their type of calendar.

I also believe it affects our webinar attendance rates since they have to manually add to their calendars - and how many people do that??

I haven't heard anything yet but I typically use a secondary button for Add to Gmail webmail. Here is what works for me. Happy to help you build it for your email if needed.

<a href="google.com/calendar/event?action=TEMPLATE&text=[Title of Event]&dates=[YYYYMMDD]T[HHMMSS]/[YYYYMMDD]T[HHMMSS]&location=[Location]&trp=true" target="_blank">Add to Google Calendar</a>

[Title of Event] - example: This Is The Title (you can use spaces, no need for hyphens)

[YYYYMMDD] = example: 20180605 for June 5th 2018

[HHMMSS] = example: 100000 for 10:00am

[Location] = example: Online Webinar

I agree, it's ridiculous that Marketo can't support GCal. Other platforms (including GoToWebinar) have no problem with this.

As a workaround, I don't use the built-in Marketo token. I create links on AddEvent.com, and then add those links to Marketo. It's more work, but it's a better use case.
