Keep client kickoff details current when plans change
Send Notis the existing event reference and revised details, then have it patch that kickoff event in Google Calendar.
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 changed kickoff time can leave the calendar out of sync with the latest client agreement.
- Update an existing kickoff without recreating the event.
- Use revised details supplied with the webhook request.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Bonsai and Google Calendar once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis to create one from any channel.
- 3Describe the outcome: patch the specified kickoff event using the revised details included in the request.
- 4Pick the notis_webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real request that identifies the existing event and includes the intended changes.
Questions about this workflow
Can Notis find the event to update automatically?
Provide the calendar ID and event ID in the request, or other reliable context that lets Notis identify the existing event. The patch action needs a valid calendar and event.
Will fields I omit be erased?
Patch semantics update only supplied fields. If you provide array fields such as attendees, the supplied array replaces the existing array.
