Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
As a visitor for adding a meeting to my personal calendar I find the process too manual and error prone: I need to find the datetime at my calendar, add the title, location, etc.
Describe the solution you'd like
For this problem other platforms (like Eventbrite, see "Additional context") choose ways to adding to the most popular calendar software.
It also exists the .ICS standard format (that we already send attached to an inscription of the meeting).
Describe alternatives you've considered
For technological sovereignty we could only allow the .ICS format download, but most people don't know what that means. It's a political vs usability trade-off :/
Additional context
Metadecidim proposal
For instance, an event in Eventbrite:


Every option has this logic.
- Outlook calendar: download .ICS
- Google calendar: generates this URL. It opens a new window with the event details (title, start and end date and time, description and location) already filled in
- Apple calendar: download .ICS
- Yahoo calendar: generates another URL
In the case of Google calendar this is the parameters of the URL:
https://calendar.google.com/calendar/u/0/r/eventedit?text=TITLE&dates=START_DATETIME/END_DATETIME&details=DESCRIPTION&location=LOCATION&sf=true
Where DESCRIPTION is "For full details go to (Decidim URL)"
Does this issue could impact on users private data?
No, we're talking about personal calendar software but it's only importing an already created meeting.
