I'm trying to get org-agenda-to-appt working but I am currently getting No event to add when running this command.
org-agenda-list returns a bunch of items, one of which has Deadline: prefixed.
My TODO items are properly loaded into the agenda and have DEADLINE associations.
(defun org-agenda-to-appt (&optional refresh filter &rest args)
"Activate appointments found in `org-agenda-files'.
With a `\\[universal-argument]' prefix, refresh the list of \
appointments.
If FILTER is t, interactively prompt the user for a regular
expression, and filter out entries that don't match it.
If FILTER is a string, use this string as a regular expression
for filtering entries out.
If FILTER is a function, filter out entries against which
calling the function returns nil. This function takes one
argument: an entry from `org-agenda-get-day-entries'.
FILTER can also be an alist with the car of each cell being
either `headline' or `category'. For example:
\\='((headline \"IMPORTANT\")
(category \"Work\"))
will only add headlines containing IMPORTANT or headlines
belonging to the \"Work\" category.
ARGS are symbols indicating what kind of entries to consider.
By default `org-agenda-to-appt' will use :deadline*, :scheduled*
\(i.e., deadlines and scheduled items with a hh:mm specification)
and :timestamp entries. See the docstring of `org-diary' for
details and examples.
If an entry has a APPT_WARNTIME property, its value will be used
to override `appt-message-warning-time'."

The above code is from org-agenda.el that has been loaded.
Here is an example of one of my TODO items from a file within org-agenda-files.
** TODO [#A] Test Item
DEADLINE: <2017-05-06 Sat>
