Automate monthly Patch Tuesday planning by scheduling calendar events, generating patch assessment reports, and distributing them to IT stakeholders for review and approval.

Workflow Steps

1

Google Calendar

Schedule recurring patch review meetings

Create recurring calendar events for the second Tuesday of each month (Patch Tuesday) with automated invites to IT team members, including preparation reminders 3 days prior.

Notion

Generate patch assessment templates

Set up a Notion database template that automatically creates patch review documents with sections for vulnerability assessment, system impact analysis, testing requirements, and rollback plans.

3

Zapier

Trigger report creation from calendar events

Connect Google Calendar to Notion via Zapier so that when Patch Tuesday events approach, new assessment documents are automatically created in Notion with current month/year populated.

4

Gmail

Email reports to stakeholders

Use Zapier to automatically email completed patch assessment reports from Notion to department heads and change management boards 24 hours before the scheduled maintenance window.
