Copy agenda to calendar event

If a Hugo agenda could be copied to the calendar description, it would alleviate having to toggle back and forth between Gmail and Hugo...especially when on the go and using your mobile device you could easily see the agenda in the Gmail description field.

Thanks for your input everyone. We're excited to get started on this feature!
We will be implementing it in a way where your Hugo link will be added to the agenda, rather than the document content itself, being added to the event.
The primary drivers of this decision are:
1/ Formatting limitations in Google/Office calendar events
2/ The complexity associated with keeping the content up-to-date between your event and Hugo as edits are made in both places asynchronously.
Links are simpler, don't get in the way of other info like Zoom details, and ensure attendees are always accessing the most up-to-date version of your doc 👍.

Funny enough, this used to be a feature I think - the Meeting Prep was called Agenda and was automatically pushed to the invite. I think many people (including myself) did not clearly understand that that was public and wrote all their thoughts which were then shared with all the attendees - might have caused some problems :).

Tudor Goicea: 🤔 this feature hasn't existed in Hugo before but your point re accidental sharing is really important. We plan on supporting this in way where users will have to opt in to sharing the link with meeting attendees. The link won't be added to the calendar event automatically.

I agree, although I think the current Hugo Chrome extension is a step in the write direction, pushing the agenda directly into Gmail description, similar to how Zoom works, would be next level!

I like this idea a lot, but I'm hopeful it works for Outlook as well.
Josh Lowy
Chris Keenan: yep, we will include both Gmail and Outlook in the scope for this 👍

I like that idea, but what I'd like even better would be (the option to include) a link from the calendar event to the shared Hugo Agenda. That way the Agenda content is always up to date. And my agendas can get pretty long, so they don't look great in a calendar UI.
You know the way the Zoom extension for google calendar both creates the zoom meeting and adds the meeting link to the calendar with one button click? I think that's the ideal flow for creating and sharing Hugo agendas.
