Automatic Tracking Configuration Patching
Change a tracking parameter in Page x. Only that field updates in Solcast - nothing else.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Patch PV Power Resource
Tool to partially update an existing PV power resource's technical specifications. Use when you need to modify specific resource configuration fields without replacing the entire resource.
Why this helps
Partial configuration updates are risky; full overwrites might lose data, leaving you hesitant to sync tracking changes.
- Targeted tracking updates applied safely
- No overwrite risks or data loss
- Changes applied without context-switching
- Only specified fields update, others untouched
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Page x and Solcast to Notis (one-time setup).
- 2Tell Notis: 'When tracking configuration changes in Page x, patch the Solcast resource with the updated tracking type.'
- 3Set the trigger to Webhook - when tracking fields are modified in Page x.
- 4Choose notification: Email log, Slack alert, or none.
- 5Test by changing a tracking parameter in Page x and verify only that field updates in Solcast.
Questions about this workflow
What tracking parameters can be patched?
Tracking type (Fixed, Single-axis, Dual-axis), rotation limits, azimuth offset, and other Solcast tracking fields.
Why patch instead of full update?
Patching updates only the fields you specify, leaving all other resource data unchanged. This prevents accidental overwrites.
Can I patch multiple tracking fields at once?
Yes. Change multiple tracking parameters in Page x and all of them sync together.
