What does this iCal Feed automation do?
A named agent writes a preparation checklist for each new feed event and files it as a task.
What can you do with it?
- Start every event with a checklist
- Use what worked last time
- Keep preparation visible to the team
The Steps
This automation runs in 3 steps:
- When iCal Feed: New Event in Calendar Feed
- Then Taskade AI: Ask an agent ("Event Prep")
- Then Taskade: Add Task
What makes this different from a Zapier-style flow?
The "Event Prep" step is not a one-off model call. It is a Taskade AI agent that knows your event types and standard checklists, remembers what each kind of event needed before, so every run builds on the last one instead of starting from an empty prompt.
A stateless "ask the model" step forgets everything the moment it returns. An agent keeps its knowledge and its memory between runs, carries its own tools, and can be handed work by your other automations.
Who is this automation for?
Built for teams that run recurring events. A named agent writes a preparation checklist for each new feed event and files it as a task.
