3. VUE.JS APP in CDN
We automate these six steps in AWS to accelerate sending calendar invites
with AWS SES on our APIs.
1. Customers use the create@calendarsnack.com command in a Calendar
Client to create, edit, or cancel a calendar message in the AWS SES
messaging pipeline. The calendar client sends a copy of the calendar invite
to the S3 Email Box to store the calendar message in its original form in the
SES storage layer. If any edits or cancellations are completed in the Calendar
Client for that UID event, we update the messaging pipeline.
2. Event Bridge notifies Lambda to pick up a copy of the calendar invite
payload and disassembles the calendar invite MIME components of the
message body, time start, time stop, UID, and location to store in S3 and
Dynamo DB for reassembly. (ETL IN)
3. The Lambda routine generates the Event UID for Dynamo DB, and the
Calendar Invite meta artifacts are placed into S3.
4. Event Bridge notifies the UID Lambda API to reassemble the Calendar
Invite from S3 with the correct Encoded, MIME TYPE, Multi-Part payload for
that Calendar Invite. It validates the EVENT UID translation from Dynamo
DB. (ETL OUT)
5. In one of three ways, the calendar invite API command is used in the
Calendarsnack dashboard – In an Upcoming Landing Page, a VIP LIST of
email names, or an RSVP Button for MailChimp or Klaviyo to send the
encoded MIME type calendar invite with AWS SES.
6. Customers are tracked in the API Reporting dashboard for RSVP Calendar
Client responses and changes.

7. Getting 2024 Colorado Rockies Data into your AWS account
We took the data from the MLB schedule and populated a calendar client called
corockyfans@outlook.com with 194 Rockies Events and copied the Calendar Invites to
create@calendarsnack.com to get the data into the Calendarsnack Console.

18. VUE.JS APP in CDN
1. Customers use the create@calendarsnack.com command in a Calendar
Client. The calendar client sends a copy of the calendar invite to S3 Email In
Box to store the calendar message in its original form in the SES storage
layer. If any edits or cancel are completed in the Calendar Client we update
the databases and anyone that has received a calendar invites from SIS.
2. Event Bridge notifies Lambda to pick up a copy of the payload and
disassemble calendar invite MIME components of the message body, time
start, time stop, UID, and location to store in S3 and Dynamo DB for
reassembly in the next step.
3. The Lambda routine generates the Event UID for Dynamo DB and the
Calendar Invite meta artifacts and is stored in S3.
4. Event Bridge notifies the UID Lambda to reassemble the Calendar Invite
from S3 with the correct Encoded, MIME TYPE, Multi-Part payload for that
Calendar Invite and to validate the EVENT UID translation from Dynamo DB.
5. In one of three ways the calendar invite is sent using the Calendarsnack
dashboard – In an Upcoming Landing Page Schedule List, a VIP LIST of email
names, or an RSVP Button by the Simple Invite Service using serverless
services with specific Lambda’s built to create, send and update the
calendar invite client data sent to S3.
6. Customers track the RSVPs in the Reporting dashboard to review the
collected RSVP Data or possibly use a send method.

19. Upcoming Landing Page using the Simple Invite Service (SIS)
1. The customer logs into the Calendarsnack App. The SIS APIs supplied for
the Calendarsnack Service build out the VUE.APP in the browser in the CDN
and start the customer session.
Design Upcoming
Landing Page in APP
2. Once the customer signs up for the CalendarSnack Service, the customer can
proceed to the Dashboard up —no credit card is required.
Upcoming Events
Landing Page
3. The no-code Upcoming Landing Page in this example is selected on the left
and can be configured using the push pins and toggle buttons. The shareable
Upcoming URL can used in marketing campaigns for event selection and
sending calendar invites to the email address in the box.
4. The Calendar Invite API call is made to the API gateway to summon a calendar
invite from the SIS storage layer for that event. A Lamba assembles the calendar
invite for AWS SES transport. This includes proper encoding for the MIME type
and multipart for that specific calendar invite.
5. Edits, Cancels, or what the Calendar Client considers an Update to the
original Calendar Client used to create the event are now registered with the
Simple Invite Service UID. Is there an update to the Calendar Invite UID the
automation Lambda kicks off and updates the information in the database and
then resends the calendar invite information through AWS SES using the same
process in #4. RSVP receipts are gathered from the customer’s Calendar Invite
until the event ends via the API gateway and stored in an S3 bucket for
retrieval.
2/16/24 17
6. The data for all events are stored for the individual UIDs of the calendar
invites and aggregated for the Organizer to view from S3 in the VUE.JS
Dashboard that the reporting API calls in the application. AWS Quick Sight is an
alternative to the Vue dashboard.
