Escalating reminders using calendar event as a trigger (or any other way)

I am trying to create escalating reminder that would notify me at 10, 20, and 30 min before an event. I made a macro for sleep alarm that uses 8:30 before sunrise as a trigger and then simply notifies me every 10 minutes until the time of the event with a custom notification.

It would be ideal if I could enter the time into a dialog box, trigger, or a local variable. I thought of a way to do something similar with a calendar event as a trigger, but for some odd reason it doesn't work at all. Calendar event notifications simply don't trigger anything.

Here is a video of my setup that uses macro from here (https://www.macrodroidforum.com/index.php?threads/calendar-event-contains.4124/)


What is the best way to make it work, or may there be another way to do the same thing?

I know a lot of people are using escalating reminders in their routines, but I could not find any examples of how it can be done.

Thanks.

The best thing I could come up with to tackle this problem is to set trigger to Notifications from Calendar app that Match *time* in the Title.

Event in the calendar is set to fire 30 minutes in advance.
