Trigger

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.
