Keep newsletter plans and calendar events aligned
When a publishing plan shifts, send the change to Notis and update the existing event instead of leaving outdated timing behind.
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
Schedule changes create confusion when the new plan is shared but the original calendar event remains untouched.
- Update the existing event when publishing details change.
- Reduce stale calendar entries after a schedule adjustment.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Beehiiv and Google Calendar once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create a new automation in the portal or tell Notis from any channel.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to update the specified existing calendar event with the changed publishing details in each webhook request.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real schedule change and verify the intended event was updated.
Questions about this workflow
What must the webhook provide?
Provide enough information to identify the calendar and event, plus the fields to change. Notis cannot assume which event should be updated if the request is ambiguous.
Will omitted fields be removed?
This action uses patch semantics, so omitted fields are not part of the requested update. If you provide an array field such as attendees, the supplied array replaces that field.
