Thx

i do have this now

  (defun z/save-meeting-to-ics ()
    "If the current file is in '~/.dotfiles', the code blocks are tangled"
    (when (equal (buffer-file-name)
                 (expand-file-name "/home/zeltak/org/files/agenda/
meetings.org"))
 (rename-file (org-icalendar-export-to-ics)
"/home/zeltak/org/files/export/kcal.ics")
      (message "exported to ics")))

;;run every 30 minutes

(run-with-timer 0 (* 30 60) 'z/save-meeting-to-ics)
;;(run-with-idle-timer 600 t #'org-agenda-redo) ;; to rebuild it every 600
second
;;  (add-hook 'after-save-hook #'z/save-meeting-to-ics)

yet i cant get the ics file to be created niether when i save the
meeting.org file nor every 600 seconds. what am i missing here?
