Clear canceled deployment reviews from your calendar

When a deployment is canceled, remove its review event so your calendar reflects the current plan.

Trigger

Webhook received

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

Action

Delete event

Deletes a specified event by `event id` from a google calendar (`calendar id`); this action is idempotent and raises a 404 error if the event is not found.

Why this helps

Canceled deployments can leave outdated review blocks on a crowded calendar.

  • Remove an obsolete review event after an explicit cancellation request.
  • Use supplied deployment details to identify the event to delete.
  • Keep the calendar focused on active plans.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Appveyor and Google Calendar once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name and prompt.
  • 3Tell Notis to find and delete the matching review event only when a webhook request explicitly identifies a canceled deployment.
  • 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real cancellation and confirm the intended event was removed.

Questions about this workflow

Will a failed or delayed deployment delete its event?

No. The prompt should require an explicit cancellation request; a failure or delay alone does not mean the review should be removed.

What happens if the event cannot be found?

Delete Event returns a 404 if the event is not found. The run report can record that outcome for follow-up.
