Archive Issues When Tasks Are Deleted
Delete a task from Clickup and the Linear issue is automatically archived. No orphaned issues, no cleanup debt.
Trigger
Task Deleted
Triggers when a task is deleted. ClickUp ships no history_items or actor info on deletes — the payload carries only the task_id and team_id.
Action
Delete issue
Archives an existing linear issue by its id, which is linear's standard way of deleting issues; the operation is idempotent.
Why this helps
Tasks are deleted from Clickup but corresponding Linear issues remain, creating orphaned issues and confusion about what's actually active.
- No orphaned or stale Linear issues
- Data integrity across both platforms
- Automatic cleanup reduces manual housekeeping
- Clear, accurate view of active work
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Clickup and Linear to Notis.
- 2Create an automation: 'When a task is deleted in Clickup, archive the corresponding Linear issue.'
- 3Select 'Clickup - Task Deleted' as the trigger.
- 4Set your notification channel.
- 5Test by deleting a Clickup task and verify the Linear issue is archived.
Questions about this workflow
Can I permanently delete the Linear issue instead of archiving?
Notis defaults to archiving (safer for audit trails). Permanent deletion can be configured if your workflow requires it.
What if the Linear issue has already been closed?
Notis gracefully skips archiving if the issue is already archived or closed—no errors.
Can I filter by task properties before deletion syncs?
You can refine the automation to sync deletions only for tasks matching certain criteria (e.g., low-priority or old tasks).
