Wake-up alarm that only sets of if I have a morning meeting

Hi,
I've been playing around with the app for some days (what a magnificent tool!) but have not found a solution to this one:
How could one make an alarm clock go off at 7:30am only on days when I have a meeting (calendar event marked busy) starting at 10am? And otherwise not go off at all.
Some help would be really appreciated :)

Firstly, a small warning that the set alarm functionality can be flakey in some situations as MacroDroid can't actually set an alarm directly but has to fire an intent that is picked up by your alarm/clock app. For many users it works absolutely fine, but I know this is not universal. With this in mind you may wish to just use MacroDroid to generate an alarm type sound as an alternative.

Trigger:
- Calendar (check in advance 2.5 hours)

Action
- Set Volume (high)
- Play Sound (Some alarm type sound)

Constraint
- Time of day (7.26 - 7.34)

You could then create some other macro/way to kill the alarm using the Play Sound (cancel) action. For example you could create a notification in the main macro that then run another macro when pressed that calls a secondary macro to cancel playing sound.

You could try using the Alarm Clock action to set a real alarm one minute ahead (as an alternative to the play sound approach)
