Keep exam instructions close to the event
Notis checks for changed exam instructions and updates the description on the matching calendar event.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
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
Important instructions can change after an event is created, leaving the calendar with outdated guidance.
- Keep event guidance aligned with current instructions.
- Reduce repeated searching for exam details.
- Make critical context easier to find at the scheduled event.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Classmarker and Google Calendar once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation and name it.
- 3Describe the outcome: find the matching event and patch its description when Classmarker exam instructions have changed.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one changed instruction and its matching calendar event.
Questions about this workflow
Will it replace the whole event?
The Patch Event action updates specified fields using patch semantics. Instruct Notis to change only the description.
Can it add instructions that Classmarker does not return?
Only if you supply those instructions in the automation request or another available source.
