addCalendar

Opens the default calendar of the user's device and shows a pre-filled "add new event" view with the provided data. Depending on the operating system and its version, this could manifest as just an in-app overlay or a complete switch to the calendar app.

note

On Android, this uses an intent mechanism and therefore does not require additional permissions, while on Apple devices, the user is prompted to allow access to the calendar on first execution. See requestPermission to manually request permission beforehand.

Examples

Example 1: Create a calendar entry

Goal: Create a calendar entry including a note and address.

To achieve this the following code can be used:

{
  "type": "addCalendar",
  "params": {
    "title": "Event n° 1",
    "notes": "First events of the day!",
    "url": "https://www.fabrik19.de/",
    "location": "Bahnhofstraße 82-86, 35390 Gießen",
    "startDate": "20240501T123000",
    "endDate": "20240501T220000"
  }
}

The values for the fields startDate and endDate are formatted according to ISO 8601.

Result:

An addCalendar action has been created.
