Move the release plan when timing changes
Keep the existing release event up to date with the new deployment window.
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
When timing shifts, an outdated event can leave collaborators working from different plans.
- Updates the existing event instead of creating another
- Keeps revised deployment timing visible
- Reduces confusion from stale event details
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 identify the existing release event and patch its start and end to the revised times supplied.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real rescheduling request.
Questions about this workflow
Will this replace the entire event?
No. Patch Event changes only the fields specified, while any provided array fields are fully replaced.
What times are required?
Provide valid start and end times. The event's end must follow its start.
