This trigger will fire when a specific calendar event starts/ends. 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.
Magic Text
When this trigger is used, you can access magic text via the [...] button where available.

Configuration Options
- Event starts / Event ends
Defines whether the event will start at the beginning of the event or at the end of the event.

Choose the specific calendar that you want to monitor for events.
- Availability
You can choose to trigger only if the free/busy state is set or trigger on any state (default).
- Title (Optional)
The event must match this title.
- Event detail (Optional)
The event must match the detail text.
- 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
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
When enabled, any 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 events int he future (for example 2 hours in advance). This way, you can receive alerts in advance about a specific calendar event.
- Use negative value
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).
- 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 enable this option else the calendar checking will likely be very sporadic.
