Add-to-calendar/add-to-address book

Add-to-Calendar is a special feature available for additional charge through AvantGo professional services involving the creation of a PIM "pod" that allows your PalmOS viewers to instantly add event reminders to their Calendars. Since this feature is only available for Palm devices, you should create two versions of your campaign to avoid confusing PocketPC users. If your ad is to have Add-to-Calendar functionality, you must include a form button in your jump page that the user will tap to add the information to their Calendar. All you have to do is put the button where you want it to appear on your page and label it exactly as you want it to appear.

  • Provide the details that are to be inserted into the Calendar or Address book in a separate text file or email and we will code the functionality for you. AvantGo does not currently support customer-configurable Add-to-Calendar.
  • Details that may be set in the Calendar are: start date/time, end date/time, alarm date/time, event name, and a brief, text-only note may be attached as well. Alarms can only be set for events that have a start and end time. Dates must be fixed in advance; for example, a user cannot enter his mother's birthday and have a reminder to buy her flowers appear in the mobile device calendar.
