Keep event details current with their source pages
Refresh the information you need without reopening every event page yourself.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
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
Event locations and descriptions can change after you add a date, leaving useful context out of the calendar entry.
- Recheck source pages on a chosen schedule.
- Update only confirmed changed details.
- Keep essential event context on the calendar entry.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Browserless and Google Calendar once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it for event detail refresh.
- 3Tell Notis which pages and events to compare, and to patch only confirmed changes to specified details such as location or description.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one source page and verify the targeted event fields.
Questions about this workflow
Can this replace the event description wholesale?
Patch Event changes only fields supplied, but ensure the instruction provides the desired complete description if it intends to replace that field.
Does it track page changes between runs?
Not by itself. It can compare the page with the current event, while a prior page snapshot or baseline would need to be supplied if required.
