MacOS Calendar Workflow (adding events/previewing Calendar)

[chris.voeltz 0]

Hi there! I've been browsing and can't find a working calendar workflow. I want to be able add events in natural language (like FantastiCAL and MacOS Calendar has) within Alfred... and it would even be nice to show a month view of the calendar, but this is just an additional feature. 

Anyone know of one?

Can't be done AFAIK. Calendar's natural language feature isn't exposed in any API. All you can do is fire simulated keypresses at Calendar.app to open its Quick Entry input and put text in it, which is an extremely unreliable way to do stuff.

 

If someone wants to build a workflow to show upcoming events, they could probably start with this workflow that shows upcoming video conferences and just rip out the bits that filter events without video conference URLs in them.
