Keep review events current when issue ownership shifts

Carry an ownership change into the review event so the right person can pick up the next step.

Trigger

Webhook received

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.

Why this helps

A handoff recorded on an issue can be missed when the calendar review still points to the previous owner.

  • Reflect an explicit ownership change in event details.
  • Keep the review discussion connected to the current issue context.
  • Reduce confusion during handoffs.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Bugherd and Google Calendar once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it with a clear prompt.
  • 3Describe how Notis should locate the review event and apply the ownership change.
  • 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real ownership change and verify the event.

Questions about this workflow

Does this automatically invite the new owner?

Only if your prompt requests that and the webhook supplies the intended attendee details. Attendee arrays replace the existing list when patched.

What if no matching event is found?

Have Notis report that no event was updated and request clarification rather than modifying an unrelated event.
