Keep a rescheduled Cal meeting current in Google Calendar
Send the new meeting details and event reference in a request, then patch the existing Google Calendar event.
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 scheduling change can leave a second calendar showing the old time, creating confusion and missed meetings.
- Apply supplied changes to the existing event.
- Keep the calendar record aligned with a reschedule.
- Avoid manually recreating the event.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Cal and Google Calendar once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3In one instruction, tell Notis to patch the specified Google Calendar event using the new details in each reschedule request.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real reschedule request and verify the event was updated.

What information is needed to patch an event?
The calendar ID and event ID must be valid, and you need write access. Include the changed details in the request.
Will unspecified fields be erased?
Patch Event uses patch semantics and updates specified fields. Array fields such as attendees are fully replaced if provided.
