Adjust a goal session when the plan shifts
Tell Notis which event needs to move and what new timing works. It can check the goal context and update the existing calendar event.
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
When plans change, a stale event can stay on the calendar and leave you unsure what to do next.
- Keep calendar plans aligned with current goal needs.
- Update the existing event instead of creating confusion with duplicates.
- Make schedule changes with a short natural language request.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Beeminder and Google Calendar once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name and prompt.
- 3Describe how to identify the event and the new date or time in one instruction.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real calendar event and confirm its updated details.
Questions about this workflow
What information is needed to update an event?
The automation needs enough context to identify the calendar and event, plus the changes you want. Provide a clear event reference and new timing.
Does the action replace all event fields?
This uses Patch Event, which updates specified fields. If you provide an array such as attendees, that array is fully replaced.
