Question

Is there a way when user open the ics file the event can auto assign to the correct calendar.

My client is report having trouble as on the iCalender when click on the ics file it give you the option to select which calendar you would like to assign to. But outlook just auto create a new calendar for you. is there a way you can define which calender goes into?

So hard for me cause i don't have PC to test out.

is it X-WR-CALNAME: the one to modify to match his calender name? enter image description here

BEGIN:VCALENDAR
METHOD:PUBLISH

Solution

it is indeed the non standard compliant calendar property defined by microsoft. see the page Property: X-WR-CALNAME

however given that your example only has one event, impotant to note the microsoft standard says:

This property MUST be omitted if the iCalendar represents a single appointment or meeting.
