Clear cancelled events from your calendar
When a conversation confirms a cancellation, remove the matching event so your calendar reflects the current plan.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Delete event
Deletes a specified event by `event id` from a google calendar (`calendar id`); this action is idempotent and raises a 404 error if the event is not found.
Why this helps
Cancelled plans can remain on the calendar when the update happens in chat and the cleanup is easy to forget.
- Removes an identified event after a clear cancellation.
- Reduces stale calendar entries and misleading reminders.
- Keeps the action tied to the conversation that confirmed the change.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Botpress and Google Calendar once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, then choose New Automation.
- 3Tell Notis to delete the specified event only when the Botpress conversation clearly confirms cancellation and the event identity is certain.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real cancellation and verify the correct event was removed.
Questions about this workflow
What if the event cannot be identified confidently?
Tell Notis to report the ambiguity and make no deletion unless the calendar and event identifiers are reliable.
What happens if the event is already gone?
The delete action can return a 404 when the event is not found. The event should be checked before treating that as a successful deletion.
Can it cancel the event in the Botpress conversation too?
No. This workflow only deletes the specified Google Calendar event.
