Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
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

- Synchronize Google Calendar events when planning requires current information.
- Support full or incremental sync based on sync token availability.
- Reduce reliance on stale event details.
