Clear a canceled shift from your calendar
When a shift is canceled, send its event details to Notis so the matching calendar entry can be removed.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Delete event
Deletes a specified event by `event id` from a google calendar (`calendar id`); this action is idempotent and raises a 404 error if the event is not found.
Why this helps
A canceled shift left on the calendar can cause confusion and keep blocking time that is no longer committed.
- Remove an identified canceled shift event.
- Prevent outdated shift entries from cluttering the calendar.
- Handle a calendar cleanup from a single webhook request.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect 7shifts and Google Calendar once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal, or tell Notis to create one from your preferred channel.
- 3Describe how to identify the canceled shift's calendar ID and event ID before deleting its event.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real canceled shift and verify the event identity before relying on the automation.
Questions about this workflow
Will a cancellation in 7shifts automatically trigger this?
No. 7shifts trigger events are not listed. A webhook request must provide the cancellation and identify the Google Calendar event.
What happens if the event is already missing?
The delete action is idempotent but raises a 404 error when the event is not found.
What does the workflow need to delete the right event?
It needs a valid calendar ID and event ID for the event to remove.
