Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Delete event
Deletes a specified event by `event id` from a google calendar (`calendar id`); this action is idempotent and raises a 404 error if the event is not found.

- 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 delete the specified Google Calendar event when a cancellation request includes its calendar and event IDs.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real cancellation request and confirm the event is removed.
Questions about this workflow
Does this delete events directly from Cal?
No. It deletes the specified event from Google Calendar. The request must identify the corresponding event.
What does the cancellation request need?
Provide a valid calendar ID and event ID, and ensure the connected account can access the event.
What happens if the event is already gone?
The delete action is idempotent and raises a 404 error if the event is not found. Check the run report for the result.
