Every time a colleague or organiser sends you a .ics calendar file, you have to dig through your Files app, tap through a series of prompts, and hope the import works. An ICS to calendar import shortcut for iPhone eliminates that friction entirely. With one tap you can pipe any .ics file directly into Apple Calendar, keeping your schedule accurate without the manual fuss.
Share a .ics file to the shortcut from your Mail or Files app. The shortcut parses the attachment and immediately surfaces an Apple Calendar import dialogue, letting you choose which calendar to add the event to. The whole process takes under three seconds and never requires a third-party app.
Go to getturin.com and describe your shortcut (e.g., 'Import a .ics file into Apple Calendar from the share sheet').
Wait a few seconds for Turin's AI to build the shortcut for your calendar workflow.
