<aside> 💡 Cron has a simple “local API” for other tools to open Cron to a specific event. This scheme equally works on macOS and Windows.

</aside>

cron://showEvent?

• accountEmail required — the calendar account the event belongs to. Example: test@example.com
• iCalUID required — event identifier as defined in RFC5545 (EventKit doc, Google API doc). Example: 51p9lhpkrerfom8cqn9g1btjuu@google.com
• startDate required — ISO 8601 date, optionally with time. Example: 2022-01-05 (for all-day event), 2022-01-05T20:30:00.000Z
• endDate required — like startDate. Example: 2022-01-06 (for all-day event), 2022-01-05T21:00:00.000Z
• title optional — title of event to be opened. Example: Test
• ref optional — your app’s referrer. Example: com.example.test

cron://showEvent?accountEmail=test@example.com&iCalUID=51p9lhpkrerfom8cqn9g1btjuu@google.com&startDate=2022-01-05T20:30:00.000Z&endDate2022-01-05T21:00:00.000Z&title=Test&ref=com.example.test
