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
A launch event can keep outdated details after a product announcement changes the plan.
- Update specified fields on an existing event.
- Keep a planning entry aligned with available announcement details.
- Avoid replacing the full event when only selected details need an update.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Beamer and Google Calendar once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3Tell Notis to patch a specified existing launch event with changed details present in the Beamer announcement.
- 4Choose a webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real announcement and an existing event the connected account can edit.
Questions about this workflow
Does Patch Event replace every event field?
It uses patch semantics and updates specified fields. If an array such as attendees is provided, that array is fully replaced.
Can this work without identifying an existing event?
No. The calendar and event need to be identified, and the authenticated user needs write access.
