Fix the detail that changed while keeping the rest of your event intact.
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
When event details change, finding the right event and correcting it manually can add avoidable delay.
- Update specified fields on an existing event.
- Avoid replacing the whole event when only a detail changed.
- Handle event maintenance from the request that surfaced it.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Api labz and Google Calendar once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Describe in one instruction which existing event to update and the fields that should change.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real request for an event the account can edit.
Questions about this workflow
