Remove calendar events tied to expired records
Use a recurring review to clear events for records that are no longer active.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
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
Old events tied to expired work can add clutter and make the calendar harder to scan.
- Reduce calendar clutter from expired records.
- Review stale items on a predictable schedule.
- Keep current work easier to scan.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Backendless and Google Calendar once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Describe which expired records qualify and how to identify their related events for deletion.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule and a report channel.
- 5Test with one real expired record and verify the matching event before expanding use.
Questions about this workflow
How does it know a record is expired?
The expiration criteria must come from fields or rules available in Backendless and described in your instruction.
What prevents deleting the wrong event?
Specify reliable event identifiers or matching details and test with one record first. Deletion requires the calendar and event IDs.
