Archive Completed Issues in Linear
Mark a task 'Done' in Clickup, and the Linear issue is instantly archived. Your Linear backlog stays clean and focused on active work.
Trigger
Task Status Updated
Triggers when a task's status changes. `changes[]` carries `StatusChange` entries only — ClickUp pre-filters server-side by event type. Lower traffic than subscribing to `CLICKUP_TASK_UPDATED` and pattern-matching `StatusChange`.
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
Completed tasks clutter Linear with old issues, making it hard to find active work and creating noise in reports and views.
- Linear backlog stays clean and focused on active work
- Easier to see what's actually in progress vs. done
- Reduced noise in dashboards, reports, and cycles
- Automatic cleanup reduces manual housekeeping
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Clickup and Linear to Notis.
- 2Create an automation: 'When a task is marked done (or completed) in Clickup, archive the corresponding Linear issue.'
- 3Use 'Clickup - Task Status Updated' as the trigger.
- 4Refine to trigger only on 'Done' or 'Completed' status changes.
- 5Test by completing a Clickup task and verify the Linear issue is archived.
Questions about this workflow
Can I customize what 'done' means?
Yes, define what status in Clickup counts as 'done' in your automation—e.g., 'Complete', 'Shipped', 'Done', etc.
Will archived issues disappear from cycles?
Yes, archived issues are removed from active cycles, reporting, and views in Linear. This is by design to reduce clutter.
Can I still see archived issues if needed?
Absolutely. Linear's archive view shows all archived issues if you need to review completed work.
