+
+## Description
+
+Is there a way to use the scheduler with ics data?
+
+## Solution
+
+You can write up a simple converter that parses the string that is the ICS format to the [models for the Scheduler]({%slug scheduler-appointments-databinding%}) that the Blazor app uses already. You can find an example at [https://github.com/telerik/blazor-ui/tree/master/scheduler/ICS-data-convertion](https://github.com/telerik/blazor-ui/tree/master/scheduler/ICS-data-convertion)
+
+## Notes
+
+You can easily integrate the Scheduler component with other appointment management applications such as Google or Apple calendar by utilizing a third-party library that provides the conversion between their data models and services and the models for the scheduler in your blazor app. The Telerik Scheduler provides you with [CRUD events]({%slug scheduler-appointments-edit%}) that give you the user actions so you can call upon such services with any desired code and full flexibility.
