How can you include meeting request in email body?

[Guest]

How can one create a meeting request and include as a hyperlink in the email
body. For example......Join us tomorrrow for a brief intro. Click on OPEN and
then click save and close option to display this meeting on your calender.

You would need a web site to host the .ics or .vcs file that the "Click on OPEN" URL was linking to.

[Guest]

Thanks, so this feature is npot available in outlook itself.

Can this be done using word by any chance or is there any other alternative
if one does not have a website.

If you want a link, that means the recipient must have access to the shared content, which usually means a web site. If this is for internal use, it could also be a link to a file on a shared network drive.

Alternatively, just attach the .ics or .vcs file.
