Send an outlook meeting request in an email as a link

I'd like to send an email that contains a link containing an Outlook meeting
request. Rather than sending the Outlook meeting request itself to thousands
of people, I'd rather send an email that contains this link and allows folks
to choose to put the event on their calendar.

So what's stopping you? Save the appointment as an .ics file, post it on your Web site, then send the link to that file.

Thanks for your response. Is posting the ics file to the website the only
way to go? I wanted to just send a link to the meeting itself. In other
words, the receiver clicks on the link and the meeting then appears on their
calendar. Is there a way to embed all of the info into a complex link, or
does it require pointing to the ics file on a website? Thank you. (I'm a
novice at Outlook)

Yes, if the file isn't on your website, where are you expecting people to be able to connect to the linked information? THere's no such thing as a "complex link" to create an Outlook appointment item.
