• Enable regular expression matching

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.

• Case insensitive

It will ignore the use of upper and lower case in title and detail.

• Ignore all day events

Events defined as full day will be ignored by the trigger.

• Check in advance

Instead of triggering at the exact moment the calendar event triggers, it will check for it (for example) 2 hours in advance. This way, you can receive alerts in advance about a specific calendar event.

• Use negative value

Use negative value (trigger x time after the event)

• Use alarm

Use this option if the trigger time is not accurate (and you need it) e.g. for high importance events it is recommended to use an alarm.
