Keep a Backendless event index updated
When an event changes, refresh its entry in a Backendless hive map so your lightweight reference stays useful.
Trigger
Event Updated
Triggers when an existing Google Calendar event is modified. Returns the event ID, change type, and the specific fields that changed with their previous and new values.
Action
Map Put
Tool to set or update key-value pairs in a hive map. use when you need to add or update multiple entries in a hive map.
Why this helps
A separate event index goes stale when event details are edited after creation.
- React to event modifications as they happen.
- Update a specified hive map with the changed event information.
- Keep a lightweight reference aligned with calendar changes.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Calendar and Backendless once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis which hive map entries to set or update from the event ID, change type, and changed field values.
- 4Pick Event Updated as the trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real event update and an existing hive.
Questions about this workflow
What does the Event Updated trigger return?
It returns the event ID, change type, and specific fields that changed with their previous and new values.
