iCalendar
Build or read iCalendar (.ics) events.
Do things in iCalendar
Add a iCalendar step and choose an Operation. Choose the row to see the fields of each.
Later steps read a step’s output by its name: see Use data from earlier steps.

For developers
In the API, which calls apps pieces, iCalendar is pieceId: "icalendar" with actionId: "convert", set by operation. Get an app returns every field.
It computes from its inputs only (pure). See How versions and side effects work.
