Hi Sameera,

There isn't any node or option specifically built in for this, but it should be easy enough to create a iCalendar file and attach it to an email. An iCalendar file is just a text file with a .ics extension. You could use something like this (http://apps.marudot.com/ical/) to generate a template, and then variablize it within the flow. You'll have to muck with it a bit to make is work as an invitation.  The guidelines are here:  http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2446.txt

Here is one I put together that appears to work;

BEGIN:VCALENDAR
VERSION:2.0
PRODID:-//www.marudot.com//iCal Event Maker
X-WR-CALNAME:MySchedule
X-WR-TIMEZONE:America/Denver
METHOD:REQUEST
BEGIN:VEVENT
ATTENDEE:TYPE=INDIVIDUAL;CN="Person1 Name":emailaddress1@domain.com
ATTENDEE:TYPE=INDIVIDUAL;CN="Person2 Name":emailaddress2@domain.com
ORGANIZER:mailto:senderemailaddress@domain.com
DTSTAMP:20140103T150724Z
UID:20140103T150724Z-675658564@marudot.com
DTSTART;TZID=America/Denver:20140106T063000
DTEND;TZID=America/Denver:20140106T070000
SUMMARY:Breakfast
DESCRIPTION:I'm going to eat breakfast
LOCATION:Kitchen table
END:VEVENT
END:VCALENDAR

Hopefully this will point you in the right direction.

FYI - I've mucked around with my earlier post to get it to work correctly as an invitation, so be sure you check the current forum entry.

Sorry, I don't have a sample process. I did a google search and found the info above. If you need IPA to send calendar invitations, then you'll need to adapt this for your needs and build a flow that builds the request. Good Luck.
