Refresh a calendar event from its complete record
When the full event record changes, send it from Backendless and update the matching calendar event.
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 major event change can leave conflicting details across your system and calendar.
- Refresh the event using its authoritative record.
- Keep major changes consistent across systems.
- Use a full replacement when the complete event data is available.

- 1Connect Backendless and Google Calendar once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation from Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3Describe how to identify the event and provide all desired fields for a full replacement.
- 4Select a webhook trigger and choose a report channel.
- 5Test with one real event and verify fields that are expected to remain.
Questions about this workflow
How is this different from a patch?
A full update replaces the event. Unspecified fields may be cleared or reset, so provide all desired event fields.
What access is required?
The connected user needs write access to the target calendar, and the request must identify the calendar and event.
