The Story of the Calendar Client, the Calendarsnack and the AWS Calendar Invite Server and how they augment MailChimp for RSVP dialogs

Why we believe the embedded calendar invite API could be a big idea

The source provides an overview of how calendar invite data is processed and managed by a system called Calendar Snack, which operates on an AWS Calendar Invite server. The speaker, Greg Hansen of 31events, demonstrates how event data from a personal or business calendar, like a Major League Baseball schedule, is sent to createacalendarsnack.com. This process disassembles the invite's components and stores them, associating an event ID with the organizer's email. Furthermore, the video illustrates how to retrieve and utilize this data to create RSVP buttons for platforms like Mailchimp, allowing for the tracking of responses. Finally, the demonstration showcases the updated functionality, showing how changes made to an event in the calendar client are reflected within the Calendar Snack system, talking to the AWS Calendar Invite Server.
