Update calendar events from clear Discord corrections

When a Discord edit corrects a meeting detail, find and update the matching event if the message identifies it clearly.

Trigger

Message Edited

Triggered when an existing message in a monitored Discord channel is edited.

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

A correction in chat can leave the calendar showing outdated meeting details.

  • Apply clear corrections to the event they refer to.
  • Use a search step to identify the matching event before updating.
  • Avoid changing an event when the edit is ambiguous.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Discord and Google Calendar once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
  • 3Tell Notis to find the event identified by an edited message and patch only the corrected fields when there is one confident match; report ambiguity for review.
  • 4Pick Message Edited as the trigger and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real correction and confirm the resulting event details.

Questions about this workflow

Can it update every field from the message?

Patch Event changes only fields provided, but array fields such as attendees are replaced fully if provided. Limit updates to clearly corrected details.

What if the edit could refer to multiple events?

Do not update automatically. Have Notis report the candidate events for a person to resolve.
