* **id:** Unique identifier of the calendar event.
* **iCalUId:** Unique identifier for the event across calendar clients.
* **start:** Start time of the event.
* **end:** End time of the event.
* **isCancelled:** Indicates if the event has been canceled.
* **organizer:** The person who created or owns the event.
* **attendees:** List of participants invited to the event.

#### Sync Frequency

* **Initial Sync:** Fetches calendar data for the past 90 days.
* **Incremental Sync:** Nightly updates to fetch events for the past 1 day.
