Handle ICS Requests

This article contains information on an ICS request and instructions on how users can handle an ICS request in Outlook.

• An ICS file is a calendar file saved in a universal calendar format used by several email and calendar programs, including Microsoft Outlook, Google Calendar, and Apple Calendar.
• It allows users to share calendar information on the web and over email.
• For example, when users send a meeting request to others, they can share ICS files with them, who can import the meeting's details into their calendars.

1. Open the email that contains an ICS request.

2. Once you're in the email, open the ICS request by opening the attachment.

3. You will then view the details of the Calendar invite sent.
