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
An existing calendar briefing can go stale when new company insights arrive after it was created.
- Add updated context to an existing event.
- Use patch semantics to update only the fields specified.
- Keep the briefing useful as research changes.

- 1Connect Bigpicture io and Google Calendar once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Notis and name it for briefing updates.
- 3Tell Notis to patch the specified fields on the supplied calendar event with the new company research, preserving all other fields.
- 4Pick the notis_webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real event id and a research update.
Questions about this workflow
What does this workflow need to identify the event?
Provide the Google Calendar calendar id and event id, along with the new information to apply.
Will it replace attendees if the attendee field is included?
Yes. If the patch includes an attendee array, that array replaces the existing attendees. Avoid including it unless replacement is intended.
