Keep device review events current as readings change
Send new device context to a webhook and let Notis update the relevant review event details.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Patch Event
Updates specified fields of an existing event in a google calendar using patch semantics (array fields like `attendees` are fully replaced if provided); ensure the `calendar id` and `event id` are valid and the user has write access to the calendar.
Why this helps
A review event can become stale when a device's status changes after the event was first created.
- Keep the event description aligned with the latest supplied device context.
- Reduce manual editing before a device review.
- Patch only the event details Notis is instructed to update.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Adafruit IO and Google Calendar once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a clear name.
- 3Tell Notis how to identify the existing review event and which supplied device details to update.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real webhook request and a review event you can verify.
Questions about this workflow
Does this create a new event?
No. The Patch Event action updates specified fields on an existing event. The automation needs enough information to identify the calendar and event.
Will existing attendees be preserved?
If attendees are supplied in a patch, the array is fully replaced. Avoid instructing Notis to patch attendees unless you intend to provide the full desired attendee list.
