Review Google Calendar changes on a schedule

Keep a scheduled eye on calendar changes and bring relevant updates into one run report.

Trigger

Recurring schedule

Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.

Action

Sync Events

Synchronizes google calendar events, performing a full sync if no `sync token` is provided or if a 410 gone error (due to an expired token) necessitates it, otherwise performs an incremental sync for events changed since the `sync token` was issued.

Why this helps

Changes to shared schedules can be easy to miss when updates are scattered across recurring calendar checks.

  • Use incremental sync when a valid sync token is available.
  • Get a full sync when no token is provided or the prior token has expired.
  • Review synchronized event changes in a run report.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Celigo and Google Calendar once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
  • 3In one instruction, ask Notis to sync events, use a supplied sync token when available, and summarize changes or report when a full sync is needed.
  • 4Choose a recurring schedule and where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real sync and verify the sync token handling in the result.

Questions about this workflow

Does this action always perform a full sync?

No. It performs a full sync when no sync token is provided or when an expired token causes a 410 response. Otherwise it can sync incrementally.

Where does the sync token come from?

The workflow needs an available sync token to request incremental changes. If one is not supplied, the action performs a full sync.

Does the sync itself edit Calendar events?

It synchronizes event data and returns results. It is not an event creation or update action.
