Silence phone depending on (multiple) calendar entries

[IconBoy]

I have a profile that silences the phone when Calendar Entry is
active.
The Calendar setting is:
Google:myuse...@gmail.com
Under the title option, I am only able to select one calendar entry. I
would like to use two or more e.g. have the phone silence if the
calendar entry contains the word "meeting", "meet", "club" or "lunch".
I'm stuck as I don't know how to incorporate all of these so that if
either entry is encountered, the phone will go silent for the duration
of that appointment.

Under Title in the Calendar Entry context, you can use wildcards like this:

*meet*/*club*/*lunch*

The * indicates any text can be before or after in the calendar entry, and the / is your "or" condition.

You can try putting *club*/*lunch* in the title field and it should go
active when any of the events occurs.

Keep in mind that calendar entries go active based on GMT and not
local. So if you have an appoinment at 9AM, the profile won't go
active until 9AM in GMT.

Aah! Thanks very much. I knew there was something simple I was
missing. The tip was helpful.

How do folks in USA (Pacific time) deal with the calendar GMT issues
with calendar appointments in Gmail?

This doesn't seem to be an issue for me.  When I have a meeting set for 2pm, Tasker goes into meeting mode at 2pm.  I'm in USA Central time and my Calendar settings are GMT-06:00 as my current time zone.

My wife and I share our google calendars with each other so we can edit and create events on one anothers calendars. Just a couple of days ago she entered my work schedule on my calendar, and my tasker hasn't silenced my phone. 

I normally create my events as "C Work", she entered them as "C work",

I went in to the context for the task and edited the title to "C Work / C work / c work" just to cover any variation of the title of the event. I have the context set to look on all calendars, but it still isn't silencing my phone.

Any suggestion?

this info is in the userguide..

if you use an uppercase letter it has to be uppercase or it will not match, if you use a lowercase it will match both lower and uppercase

so "C work" will match "C Work", "C work", "C WORK", ... but not "c work"

Like Tessler said, time zone should not be a problem if you have it set up correctly.

On your pc open gmail, select calendar at top of screen, click on the gear icon near upper right to pull down menu, select settings from the menu

The third item in the settings screen is "your current time zone"

Change it to whatever you want, 

then press SAVE

alright so I should edit my context to "c work" and it will match all variations of upper and lower case. I have yet to see any User Guide, I'll have to try to find that....
