Keep calendar dates in step with revised documents
When a document changes, send its updated data to Notis to locate the related event and patch the details that are now different.
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A revised deadline can leave an outdated calendar event in place if updating it depends on remembering later.
- Carry revised dates into an existing event.
- Keep the event tied to the document it came from.
- Reduce reliance on remembering to make a separate calendar edit.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Algodocs and Google Calendar once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Describe how Notis should identify the existing event and patch only the details changed in the revised document.
- 4Choose a webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one revised document and verify the event's updated date and details.
Questions about this workflow
Can it update only changed fields?
Yes. Patch Event uses patch semantics. Tell Notis which details to update based on the revised data.
What if the matching event is unclear?
Have Notis report possible matches for review instead of changing an uncertain event.
