Keep research settings aligned with changed plans
When an event shifts, prompt Notis to update the collection settings you identify so planned research can reflect the change.
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
Update an existing collection
Tool to update an existing collection. Use when you need to modify collection settings before scheduling runs.
Why this helps
A changed event can leave research setup based on old plans, creating cleanup work before the next collection run.
- Use changed calendar details as a prompt to revisit collection settings.
- Reduce the chance of running research against outdated plans.
- Get a report when Notis processes the update.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Calendar and Countdown API once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, then choose a name and report channel.
- 3In one instruction, tell Notis which collection to update and how relevant event changes should affect its settings.
- 4Pick the Google Calendar Event Updated trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real event update and a collection you can identify.
Questions about this workflow
Can Notis tell which collection belongs to an event?
The trigger supplies the event ID, change type, and changed fields with old and new values. Specify how to identify the Countdown collection, since the trigger does not provide a collection ID.
Will the collection run after it is updated?
The selected action updates an existing collection's settings. Starting it requires a separate action.
