Update calendar event details from Telegram
Tell Notis 'add a video link to the 3pm call' in Telegram and the calendar event updates instantly. No app-switching needed.
Trigger
New Message Received
Triggered when your bot receives a new message in a private chat, group, or supergroup. To receive every message in a group, Privacy Mode must be disabled for the bot in BotFather.
Action
Patch Calendar
Partially updates (patches) an existing google calendar, modifying only the fields provided; `summary` is mandatory and cannot be an empty string, and an empty string for `description` or `location` clears them.
Why this helps
Details change constantly—a meeting room, video link, or agenda gets clarified. Neurodivergent founders often don't update the calendar because switching apps feels like friction they can avoid. Then attendees show up to the wrong place.
- Update event details without opening your calendar app
- Keep attendees informed by updating the event source rather than sending new messages
- Reduce friction that prevents event details from staying current
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Telegram and Google Calendar.
- 2Tell Notis: 'When I send you instructions to update a calendar event, patch it with the new details.'
- 3Select 'New Message Received' as the trigger.
- 4Test by saying 'update the 2pm call: add zoom link https://zoom.us/...' and verifying the event is updated.
Questions about this workflow
Which fields can Notis update?
Title, description, location, start/end time, and video link. Tell Notis what to change and it updates those fields.
Can Notis add attachments or files?
Yes, if you include a link to a file. Notis will add it to the event description.
Can I update multiple events at once?
If you're specific about which events (e.g., 'all standups this month'), Notis can update them in batch.
