Trigger automation if Google Calendar has specific event today

What’s that condition for?

It should only trigger when the calendar appointment include the word <åbendør>

Did you have another calendar event overlapping at the same time?

See examples here Calendar - Home Assistant

I would suggest using trigger data instead of the entity state

no i dont have

I have now created a spec. calendar in googlecalendar.yaml and it seems to work.
I thought I could do it from UI

Yes you can do this via conditions in the trigger data as described in the example automations Calendar - Home Assistant

(Search can’t handle overlapping events and has caveats and doesn’t work on all calendars so I don’t recommend it generally, but glad you have a solution)

Is this broken now. I’ve just noticed my two calendars that i created using search are not appearing in HA any more.

No, shouldn’t be broken. Feel free to file a GitHub issue with more details and we can investigate your issue.

Thank you. I found my issue. I was trying to update one of my searches a few weeks ago to use multiple terms.

search:
  - cleaner
  - house clean

I didn’t notice at the time but this is not compatible and causes it to be ignored and a new default entry to be created for the top level calendar.

Fixed now.
