By using tagging in Drafts and the actions, I can easily automate some tasks and have them automatically processed so I don't need to manually do the work. What has made this possible is the truly awesome application Drafts, is actions with callback-urls and the integration with other applications.
I now use Drafts and Shortcuts on iOS to automate all my new entries I need to add to the calender.
