one-click add to calendar instead of .ics file import
Right now, Proton Calendar only supports importing .ics files or subscribing to external calendars. Other providers (e.g. Google Calendar, Outlook) allow a simple “Add to Calendar” deep link that lets users add an event to their calendar with one click.
It would be very useful if Proton Calendar supported a similar feature. For example, when an organisation sends me an event invitation, they could share a Proton-specific link that opens Proton Calendar directly and pre-fills the event details.
This would make it much easier to add events without having to manually download and import .ics files.

I believe this is done.
I got an email just 5 minutes ago that had an .ics attached. And there's a very Gmail-like card at the top of the email letting me add it to Proton Calendar.

Very important one, now you have to download it and select and drag it on the application. Not even sure if that works not going to try i just put it in there by hand, its eazier. But adding an .ics or other calender files would be a big plus.

When I have an ics file in any app on the iPhone, if I click on it, it opens the iOS share menu. I would then like the Proton Calendar app to import the file aka add the appointment to my calendar.
This works with a lot of other calendar apps, but somehow, the proton calendar does not show up.Ironically, the Proton Mail app shows up in the menu, but when you click on it, it only opens a new mail with the ics as an attachment
