+<pre class="header-style">The Calendar Event trigger fires when a specified calendar event starts or ends. This allows you to automate actions based on your calendar schedule, such as enabling silent mode during meetings or sending reminders before appointments.</pre>
-Note that this trigger normally only fires on 5 minute boundaries, so if you have an event that starts between the boundaries, it may fire a few minutes later.
+''' Options '''
-'''Magic Text'''<br/>
+* '''Event Starts''' - Trigger fires when the calendar event begins
-When this trigger is used, you can access magic text via the [...] button where available.<br/>[https://macrodroidforum.com/wiki/index.php/Magic_text#Bluethooth_.28Device_connected_or_device_disconnected.29 Magic text]
+* '''Event Ends''' - Trigger fires when the calendar event ends
-'''Configuration Options'''
+''' Configuration '''
-* '''Event starts / Event ends'''
+The trigger offers extensive configuration options:
-* '''Calendar'''
+'''Calendar Selection'''
-Choose the specific calendar that you want to monitor for events.
+* Choose which calendar to monitor from your synced calendars
-* '''Availability'''
+'''Availability Filter'''
-You can choose to trigger only if the free/busy state is set or trigger on any state (default).
+* '''Any''' - Trigger for all events regardless of availability status
-* '''Title (Optional)'''
+'''Title Match (Optional)'''
-The event must match this title.
+* Enter text to match against the event title
-* '''Event detail (Optional)'''
+'''Detail/Description Match (Optional)'''
-The event must match the detail text.
+* Enter text to match against the event description
-* '''Enable regular expression matching'''
+'''Text Matching Options'''
-Regular expression matching (or regex matching) is a technique for finding patterns within text using a specialized syntax known as regular expressions. It's a powerful tool for text processing and pattern recognition.
+* '''Enable Regex''' - Use regular expressions for pattern matching
-* '''Case insensitive'''
+'''Event Filtering'''
-If enabled the text comparison will ignore any differences in upper and lower case text in the title and detail text.
+* '''Ignore All Day Events''' - Exclude all-day events from triggering
-* '''Ignore all day events'''
+'''Timing Options'''
-When enabled, any events defined as full day will be ignored by the trigger.
+* '''Check in Advance''' - Fire the trigger before the event starts
-* '''Check in advance'''
+''' Magic Text '''
-* '''Use negative value'''
+When this trigger fires, the following information is available via magic text:
-When using this option the trigger will fire at the specified time after the calendar event occurred (e.g. 2 hours after the calendar event).
+* Event title - {calendar_title}
-* '''Use alarm'''
+''' Examples '''
-Use this option if the trigger time is not accurate (and you need it) e.g. for high importance events it is recommended to enable this option else the calendar checking will likely be very sporadic.
