Hey everyone, I’m Stoyan 
I’m based in Bulgaria, and before getting into automation, I started my career as a CNC machine operator in a steel mill. I later studied Robotics and AI and eventually moved fully into the AI side, working for several years with machine vision and OCR systems.
What I do
A couple of years ago, I joined my wife at LogiCore Tech. Together, we build complete business process systems and custom automations using ClickUp and Make. Most of the work we do is end-to-end, covering the workflow design, the data structure, and the logic that connects everything together.
We have worked with all kinds of businesses, from solo founders and small teams to large companies with locations across the world. The projects have taken us into many different industries, from Broadway wig makers to companies that refurbish laboratory equipment. No matter the client, the goal is always to understand how the work actually happens and then build systems that support it properly.
Coolest thing I built
The coolest thing I recently built was the scenario I presented for Automation of the Year. In that project we reverse engineered an ICS file, which is what calendar systems use to sync events, and built a Make scenario that can generate one from scratch. The scenario then sends the file to a Flask app that simulates a POST-capable API for virtually any calendar platform, allowing dynamic event creation even when the original system does not support it.

Love this, Stoyan, using Make to generate ICS files and send them via a Flask POST endpoint is such a clever way to add calendar events where the original system doesn’t support it.

It’s an honour to know you @Stoyan_Vatov — always the best for you and your loved ones.
A question 
do you think the ics files can be added to an email body? Or an sms message?

In anything you want. Just need to find the expected format on the other end.
Finding that expected format that is functional and actually works for end users I found to be the main issue. In WildApricot there are a variety of emails sent as event invitation and reminders. Those invites never have calendar attachments or links and I have resorted to using AddEvent.com to do them. Having a feature that adds working ICS files into the event email bodies or attachments would be nice.
The same thing goes for SMS messages that are sent by some – it can send a reminder with a link but it would be nicer to have the ICS file be part of the text message.
Let’s chat more – there may be a cool WildApricot Add-on lurking here somewhere. Not sure how popular but I have heard some folks complaining about a lack of calendar invite features in WA.

@alex.newpath, we have used AddEvent as well to embed the “Add to calendar” functionality to confirm a booking. We’ve seen a big uptick in attendance rate because of this. Making a custom .ics file is likely possible and useful, but I do think that it’s worth paying for a service like AddEvent, to ensure it continues to work in the future.
Love the thinking though!

The ICS reverse-engineering project is clever. Building a Flask app to simulate a POST-capable API for calendar platforms that don’t natively support it is the kind of creative problem-solving that opens doors others don’t even see.
Congrats on the well-deserved Champion title!
