Description

I'm using a shared calendar and setup mail notifications when new events are added. The notification includes the information

  • When was the event created
  • Who created it
  • The name of the event
  • The calender in which it was created
  • But I can't see the start date of the event.
    It takes me significant time to open the calendar and find the event (might be months in the future) to retreive that information.

As a simple solution, I'd just like to see the event start date and duration of the event in the e-mail. Optional: A direct link to the event which will open the calender with the event in view.
