Is it possible to create a shortcut, function, script or something to enter the following information into my iCloud calendar in one step?

I teach Monday-Friday, September to June.  
l following a six day teaching schedule.  
I’d like to create a repeating “All Day “ event that says Day 1. And another says Day 2, etc.  
That way I could see that on (insert date), I would know to follow (insert instructional day).  
Sometimes I have to account for holidays and other non-instructional days. So I might be at work for a day that is not assigned a Day 1 through 6 designation.  
And it would be great if I could make edits on the fly as required.

I copied and pasted your query to my [new] favorite AI. [Here is how it responded](https://x.com/i/grok/share/07f6mKMlPlHJNlRvk8dq3pOh8). See what you think. I recommend going the route of the Shortcuts app rather than Applescript.

Alternatively, you could ask the AIs to point you to a writeup of the kind of workflow that you need. That’s a nice hybrid approach to get a human writeup.

Mikah Sargent and Rosemary Orchard host a weekly TWiT show **iOS Today**. You could instruct the AI to search their show transcripts and see where they have done something similar to what you want. I rarely watch, but I know Rosemary has a specialty of automation workflows. Despite the show name, they also do solutions for the Mac.

HTH.

Putting it through AI was an excellent idea. Thanks!  
I’ll check out the response. You’re right, I probably will take the shortcut route.
