How to add meeting parameters to a JSON request within your email body

When adding (a) contact(s) to your smart groups by a JSON request, it is also possible to add a meeting to this format. Ratecard can then recognize the appointment and you connect this information to an event-based campaign. 

That way, it is possible to send a feedback request right after a meeting with your contact(s).

Fill in the date and time of the meeting as follows:

"DTSTART": "TZID=Timezone:YYYYMMDDTHHMMSS"
"DTEND": "TZID=Timezone:YYYYMMDDTHHMMSS"

YYYY = Year
MM = Month
DD = Day
T
HH = Hour
MM = Minute(s)
SS = Second(s)

Parameter example start/end date and time

An example of a meeting in Amsterdam at May 10th 2018, from 12 PM until 1 PM will then look like this in JSON format:

"DTSTART": "TZID=Europe/Amsterdam:20180510T120000"
"DTEND": "TZID=Europe/Amsterdam:20180510T130000"
