Trigger: Calendar Event

About

This trigger will fire when a specific calendar event starts/ends.

• When this trigger is present, you can use more [...] magic text

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 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 alarm.
