inserting javascript variables into a calendar

    Hi there,

    I have inserted some add to calendar buttons into the gravity forms journey using an html block and it appears ok.

    <add-to-calendar-button name=”Session 1″ options=”‘Apple’,’Google'” location=”World Wide Web” startDate=”2023-04-16″ endDate=”2023-04-18″ startTime=”10:15″ endTime=”23:30″ timeZone=”America/Los_Angeles” ></add-to-calendar-button>

    How would I go about inserting a javascript variable I create during the progression of a gravity form into the add to calendar markup?

    For example if I wanted to insert a javascript variable for the ‘name’ parameter?

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Generally, this would not be directly possible with the current solution. There is another setup in the making, which would enable you to create the button code on the backend side via API, but not sure if this would match your case either.

    One would need to write an official add-on for the gravity form platform.

    What could work (experimental):

    • Create the button and set something like id=”abc”.
    • In the JavaScript function, you want to create, identify that element on the page and rewrite the name=”xyz”.
    • When it gets rewritten, the button would automatically update.

    Closing this for now, since (from a support perspective), this is more about gravity forms than this plugin.

    The mentioned approach should work. Besides that, maybe there is a better way like letting the user complete the journey and show the summary then. Maybe you are then able to retrieve the data first and already put it into the button code directly.

    Anyway, we will try to offer more options in the near future to better support such cases. Stay tuned ??
