So here is the use case.  You have tried a Calendar Snack. You like it and you say wouldn’t be cool if I could upload an email list to send calendar invites to people that want to get direct Calendar invitations from me so I can track the RSVP’s?  (Today we support CTA’s in web embeds and in Email vendors like MailChimp and 20+ others. ) 

We are working on this for our next build for January 2019 release. 

So you create a calendar invite on your calendar client of choice – Google, Outlook or Yahoo and just invite us to your event with this email address ->new@sk3l.net< .  You will then receive your calendar snack email with all the information in it, including how to bulk upload a small email list for direct calendaring sending and RSVP tracking.  Once you upload the list you will be able to review and confirm the send.

That’s it! – Super simple!  In the mean time give us a try by just adding us to your calendar event.

January 2019 will include the Calendar Upload Box

At 31events.com we develop messaging technology that enables the RSVP calendar interface within email clients to track the responses of the individual event. The technology can be used for all kinds of use cases for time-based events across vertical markets.   

This gives every marketer the ability to communicate directly with a customer’s calendar. When a calendar invite is sent, it is correctly displayed in the message body to be read in the correct client format for webinars, promotions and attachments such as coupons. 




The Calendar Snack package has been designed for marketing agencies and software OEM’s that want to add value through the ability to send and track calendar invites in an easy way by integrating them into call to action campaigns with a managed service.  The web service supports calendar message building, message sending and RSVP’s return receipt reporting.

The calendar invites can be emdedded into web pages and popular email packages like Mail Chimp using the code generator. The calendar invite data is available in a reporting interface for all RSVP’s providing granular details for your marketing campaigns.

Hello – I thought I would get out a quick post and give you and update as of July 15.  We completed numerous hurdles this weekend. We have cemented some repeatable install approaches that take less then 5 minutes to get rich reporting working for your calendar invite.  See here to download the preview calendarsnack.com debrief. We will be be launching soon!

So I started off my ISV journey 7 years ago.  Just an innocent attempt to get people to my events by sending them a Calendar Invite.  If they accepted, I knew that they were coming.  Or at least had a better chance of showing up to my events.  Along the way I had a Web based Calendar engine built by a local contractor on an old Cold Fusion stack.  It worked and we were off on many use cases on how I thought it should work.  Some 2200 hours of personal time in testing, UI design, and disastrous blunders on my part as a weekend and after work project I needed break.  If this was going to be bigger idea I needed help.  Enter a friend named Arnie.  Arnie came into the calendar “Thunder Dome” 2.5  years ago.  Or about 1800 hrs ago.  It has been a part time project for him and he caught the bug as indicated that those hours are after work and weekends. 

He helped with so many things –  testing , coding , web site, blogging and overall front end animal.  I voted him to Co-Founder last year.  He is a true inspiration.  Then we decided to blow up the old site and start over -literally scrap all the code some – $80K in custom contract coding down the drain..  Not easy.  We were both at a loss for 60 days.  We knew after talking with several large test customers we needed to get to scale on AWS with SES. 

We then started our Pizza Journey into AWS in August 0f 2017.  About 3 months ago in February of 2018 we were fortunate to recruit Jonn , who is our lead developer and CTO.  We have been iterating using Slack, and brain storming on how to use SES, Python SDK, SNS, Lambda and Arnie’s Vue front end with his run time engine.  We have the prototype running now in AWS.  Pretty exciting to see the Pizza project running!  The test site will be up and running in a few weeks. www.calendarsnack.com. More to come as we attempt to give every marketeer in the world their own calendar server for sending and tracking of Calendar invites!
