How to Add a ROUVY Event to Your Calendar

Stay organized and never miss a ROUVY event by adding it directly to your calendar!
Keep track of your schedule to get the most out of each event.

Before the big ROUVY event, we send you an email reminder with a calendar invitation (a .ics file format), which can be easily imported into your preferred calendar app.

In this article, we’ll walk you through the steps to add an event to your calendar.

The .ics file can be opened in several ways depending on your device and the email client you use.
Check out the most common ways below: general desktop method, opening the invitation in Gmail and Outlook, opening on iPhone/ iPad, and on the Android phone.

General Desktop Method (Windows/iOS)

Most desktop operating systems (Windows, iOS) will automatically open the .ics with your default calendar app (e.g., Outlook on Windows, Apple Calendar on Mac).
So the only steps you need to take are:

• Open the email with the invitation;
• Click on the yellow button to get the invite, this should download the .ics file to your device.
• Navigate to the downloaded .ics file and click on it.
  Note: in most browsers, you can see the download symbol in the top bar; the file can be located in the Downloads folder.
• After clicking on the file, follow the prompts to add the event to your calendar.
