Move a feedback review without losing its context
When the review time changes, update the existing calendar event and keep the feedback focus attached.
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
Rescheduling a review often means losing the link between the calendar block and the feedback it was meant to cover.
- Keeps the review tied to the original feedback focus
- Updates the existing event instead of adding another block
- Reduces calendar cleanup after plans change
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Canny and Google Calendar once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis: when a reschedule request arrives, update the identified Google Calendar event with the new supplied details while preserving other event information.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real event id and confirm the existing event is updated.
Questions about this workflow
What does Notis need to update the right event?
The request must provide the calendar id and event id, plus any new details. The user also needs write access to that calendar.
Will fields I omit be cleared?
Patch Event uses patch semantics, so only supplied fields are updated. If you provide attendees, that array replaces the existing attendees list.
