Trigger: Calendar Event

Revision as of 21:56, 10 June 2024 by MacroDroidDev (talk | contribs)
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.

Supported configurations

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

Calendar Choose the account where the event is located, you can also select the category, e.g. birthdays, family, holidays in Mexico.

Availability It starts only if you are free/busy or any.

Title (Optional) The event must have this title.

Event detail (Optional) The event must have these details/description.

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.
