Create ics and send as an email attachment

So I have (tried) to create a workflow that will create an ics. file and send that as an email attachement... I get an error that says 'Failed to query list data. The '=' character, hexadecimal value 0x3D, cannot be included in a name. Line 1, position 153.'  But I cant find the referenced line 1 position 153.... Does anyone have a simpler way to send a notification that can input a calendar event from a sharepoint calendar into an outlook calendar?

 

Note: I do not have an action called 'create appointment' and I am running sharepoint 2010.

    Hi

     

    There is only one query list action in the workflow so the error is coming from it. 

    I would say that there is a typo in the CAML query. Most likely missing a quote or something for one of the <FieldRef Name = sections and the equals sign is being picked up as part of the name.

    Hey Simon, this is how I have my query list configured, I don't understand why it isn't liking the = sign as none of them are within the quotation marks therefore shouldn't be included in the name right?

     

    Thanks Heaps!

    Hi,
    It appears you are following this tutorial: https://community.nintex.com/t5/Nintex-for-SharePoint/Create-an-appointment-element-ics-with-Nintex-Workflow-2013/m-p/84133

    For the Query action it states:
    - XML encode inserted tokens: checked
    - Output option: Include HTML formatting in rich text columns
    Your screen shot is not showing these two options checked.
