Keep scheduled error reviews current
Update the details on a planned review when the error report changes, so the event stays useful.
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
A calendar review can become stale when the underlying error details change after it was booked.
- Updates an existing review event with newer error context.
- Avoids creating a separate event when the existing review is still appropriate.
- Preserves fields that are not included in the patch.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Bug Recorder and Google Calendar once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis to find the existing review for a changed error and patch its relevant description with the latest report details, preserving other event fields.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one error that has an existing review event and newer report context.
Questions about this workflow
How does Notis identify the existing event?
Instruct it to use available error details to find the matching review, and skip updates when the match is uncertain.
Does the patch replace the entire event?
No. Patch Event updates specified fields; avoid supplying array fields unless you intend to replace them.
