Windows phone calendar integration

We are building a simple we app that contains basic tasking functionality (tasks, appointments, etc.).

We want to integrate it with Windows Phone 8 native Calendar, without writing any apps but by making a some sort of webservice that could be added as an account to Windows phone (e.g. Facebook, Microsoft Live, Gmail - are all accounts that are added, thus the tasks are synced).

Yet what have I came up with was this:

Interacting with calendars (Live Connect API)

This looks like a way to actively push and control the items on the Microsoft Live account, which would be fine but it requires that account to make it happen and an active module to do all the management.

We are looking forward to mimicking account behaviour and letting the phone do all the work :)

CalDAV was another keyword that popped up while searching but to my understanding windows phone doesn't support it.

Is it possible to forcefeed windows phone calendar objects to the phone without making a custom app?

Windows phone 8.1 supports cardav/caldav. You can put a custom dav server address selecting icloud account (it is a workaround) and editing the dav url. So you can set up a dav server in your app and synch calendars and contacts between your web app and the wp8 defaukt calendars and contacts app.
