Hmm. I tried it with this test-event:
* TODO Test task
SCHEDULED: <2015-04-07 Tue>
But running (org-agenda-to-appt) just gives "No event to add".
Is this because there is no time specified? I'm not really concerned
with appointments that have a time span, but with projects that have
specific due dates...
Best,
