Notis

Remove calendar events for cancelled commitments

Clear obsolete plans as soon as your source material confirms they are cancelled.

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 commitments remain on the calendar and create avoidable noise.

  • Remove obsolete commitments
  • Keep calendars trustworthy
  • Avoid accidental attendance

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect BrainGraph and Google Calendar in Notis once.
  • 2Create a cancellation cleanup automation.
  • 3Tell Notis to delete an event only when a source explicitly confirms cancellation and the matching event is unambiguous.
  • 4Choose the webhook trigger and report channel.
  • 5Test with one clearly cancelled commitment.

Questions about this workflow

What if multiple events match?

Ask Notis to report the candidates for review instead of deleting automatically.

Is deletion reversible?

Google Calendar deletion may move an event to trash or remove it depending on the event and account behavior.
