Replace the Details of a Calendar Event

When the whole event needs a refresh, provide the complete details in one request.

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 full event correction can take repeated edits when the intended final version is not gathered in one place.

  • Update a complete event in one request
  • Keep the intended final event details together
  • Reduce repeated correction edits

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Apilio and Google Calendar once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
  • 3Tell Notis to update the specified event with the complete desired fields and valid calendar and event IDs.
  • 4Choose the webhook trigger and a report channel, then test with one real full event update.
