Keep the incident review event current
When incident details change, update the existing review event so everyone has the latest plan.
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 review time or summary that changes after the first invite can leave attendees working from stale calendar details.
- Keep an existing review event aligned with supplied changes.
- Reduce stale time and description details for attendees.
- Use the incident context in the webhook to refresh the review.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Better Stack and Google Calendar once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis to patch the identified calendar event with the incident review changes in the request.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test it with one real event ID and review update.
Questions about this workflow
What does the webhook need to identify the event?
Provide the Google Calendar calendar ID and the event ID, plus the fields you want changed.
Will the workflow replace every event field?
No. Patch Event uses patch semantics and updates only the fields Notis supplies. Array fields such as attendees are replaced in full if provided.
Can Better Stack trigger this directly?
The supplied Better Stack context has no trigger events, so start with a Notis webhook and send the needed incident review changes in its request.
