Clear cancelled release plans from the calendar
Remove a cancelled deployment event so it no longer looks like active work.
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.
Why this helps
Cancelled release slots left on the calendar continue to confuse schedules and handoffs.
- Removes a specified cancelled event
- Keeps the calendar focused on active plans
- Prevents stale release commitments from confusing collaborators
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect CircleCI and Google Calendar once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation from any channel or in Automations, New Automation.
- 3Tell Notis to delete the specified event only when the request confirms that release is cancelled.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real cancelled release event.
Questions about this workflow
Does this automatically detect cancellation in CircleCI?
No. CircleCI has no trigger events in this package. The webhook request must supply the cancellation and event details.
What happens if the event is already gone?
The delete action is idempotent and returns a not found error when the event does not exist.
