Move a document review when plans change
Send the existing event ID and revised details with the document update, and let Notis patch the calendar event.
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 a review date changes during document work, the calendar can keep showing the old plan unless someone updates it.
- Apply an explicitly supplied change to the existing review event.
- Keep the document update and calendar correction in one workflow.
- Avoid recreating an event when the existing event can be patched.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Cloudlayer and Google Calendar in the Notis portal once.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to patch the specified review event using the event ID, calendar ID, and revised fields supplied in the webhook request.
- 4Select the webhook trigger and where run reports should go, then test with one real event that is safe to update.
Questions about this workflow
What must the request include?
Include a valid calendar ID, event ID, and the revised fields. The authenticated user needs write access to that calendar.
Does the action replace the whole event?
No. Patch Event updates only the specified fields, though array fields such as attendees are fully replaced if supplied.
