Sync your Google Calendar list with Airtable base names

Renaming an Airtable base should flow through to your calendar list. Notis updates calendar list entries automatically so your calendar names stay aligned with your Airtable structure.

Trigger

Base Metadata Changed

Triggers when an existing Airtable base changes its name or permission level.

Action

Update Calendar List Entry

Updates an existing entry on the user\'s calendar list.

Why this helps

You rename Airtable bases but forget to update related calendar names, causing confusion about which calendar maps to which base.

  • Keep calendar names aligned with base names
  • Prevent confusion from mismatched names
  • Maintain organized calendar structure
  • Reduce manual renaming work

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Airtable and Google Calendar to Notis.
  • 2Create an automation: 'When an Airtable base is renamed, update the corresponding Google Calendar list entry to use the new base name.'
  • 3Set the trigger to 'Integration event' and select 'Base Metadata Changed' from Airtable.
  • 4Tell Notis how to match Airtable bases to Google Calendars (by previous name or custom tags).
  • 5Test by renaming a base in Airtable and confirming the calendar list entry updates.

Questions about this workflow

How does Notis know which calendar corresponds to which base?

You set this up during configuration. Notis can match by calendar name, ID, or custom labels you provide.

Will this rename all events on the calendar?

No, only the calendar's name in your calendar list is updated. Events keep their original titles.

What if I rename a base that doesn't have a calendar?

Notis will notify you but won't error. You can manually create a calendar if needed.
