Replace an event using complete updated details
When a request has the complete desired event, send it through Ably and have Notis apply a full replacement.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Update Google event
Updates an existing event by `event id` in a google calendar; this is a full put replacement, so provide all desired fields as unspecified ones may be cleared or reset.
Why this helps
A complete change can be tedious to apply when event details have to be recreated field by field.
- Apply a complete set of updated event details
- Use a single request for a full replacement
- Get a run report for review
