Ongoing Issue with Time Zone Error in GoToWebinar Email Reminders
Subject: Ongoing Issue with Time Zone Error in GoToWebinar Email Reminders I’m reaching out to address an ongoing issue with the time zone in calendar events added through the email reminders sent b...
Hi KateG it looks OK now.
did a test and the timezone now is OK.
Thank you so much for pursuing this.
Hi MktgINT_2024 the team hasn't identified a root cause. Are you still receiving reports of this issue?
the image above is when we click on button to add to google calendar directly from the link to register.
But when people do it from the email notification below it assumes pacific time zone, a different one.
Hi KateG of course we still have the issue, it wasn't fixed by your team... We have already shared what should be done on your side.... we have just given you all the steps they should take into consideration. I believe this is just a question of minutes to do it...see below please.
What Needs to Be Fixed on Your End:
- Ensure the correct time zone parameter (TZID) is included in the .ics file
- When generating the .ics file attached to email reminders, make sure the correct TZID is included for the event start and end times.
- If the TZID is missing, Google Calendar will assume the default (Pacific Time).
- Ensure the Google Calendar link includes the correct time zone
- When generating Google Calendar event links, you should include the ctz parameter with the correct time zone.
- If ctz is missing or incorrect, Google Calendar will default to Pacific Time.
the email notification that is sent to the attendees confirming their registration and the button to add to "Google Calendar" isn't working probably it doesn't assume the configured time zone that people have. It automatically goes to "pacific time zone".
