Update an existing event from a Byteforms request
Turn an event change request into a focused calendar update while keeping the requested edits explicit.
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
Changes submitted in a form can be forgotten or require re-opening an event and re-entering its details.
- Apply requested edits to an existing event.
- Keep event changes tied to a submitted request.
- Use patch semantics to update only specified fields.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Byteforms and Google Calendar once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis from any channel.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to identify the event and patch only the requested fields; include the calendar and event identifiers.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real change request and verify the event afterward.
Questions about this workflow
Does the request need to identify the event?
Yes. The workflow needs a valid calendar and event identifier, or enough reliable information for Notis to identify the intended event.
What happens to fields that are not included?
Patch semantics update specified fields. Array fields such as attendees are fully replaced if provided, so specify them carefully.
