I'm fairly new to NR but I've got all my lighting and IOT devices nicely automated and I'm ready to step up to something a little smarter. I'd like to fire a flow when a particular word is in a Google Calendar event, in fact, I want to trigger the flow 30 mins before that event.

My use case is: Heat the bathroom before I go to the gym in the morning, the time I go to the gym varies every day and I'd like to have the bathroom heated 30 mins before I need to be in the gym 🙂

Any tutorials/posts out there for similar use cases based on filters of calendar events? I've tried searching.
