Close Issues Without Switching Apps
Done with a task? React with a checkmark in Discord and Notis instantly closes or archives the related issue in Linear—no alt-tab needed.
Trigger
Message Reaction Added
Triggered when a reaction (emoji) is added to a message in a monitored Discord channel.
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
Closing issues requires opening Linear, finding the issue, and clicking through dialogs; this friction causes issues to stay open longer than needed.
- Close issues without context-switching to Linear
- Complete tasks stay completed—no stale open issues
- Faster workflow, especially for quick-win tasks
- Less mental overhead per task completion
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Set up Notis with Discord and Linear access.
- 2Create an automation: 'When someone reacts with a checkmark emoji on a Discord message about a Linear issue, close (archive) that issue.'
- 3Define which emoji closes issues (checkmark is default, but you can use any emoji).
- 4Test by adding a checkmark reaction to a Discord message referencing an open Linear issue and watch it archive.
Questions about this workflow
Can I customize the 'closed' state or just archive issues?
You can define any Linear state as the target: Done, Closed, Won't Do, etc. Notis applies whatever end state makes sense for your workflow.
What if I react by accident?
Notis can require a second confirmation reaction or watch for emoji removal as an undo signal. Customize this to match your team's comfort level.
Will this work for issues not mentioned in the Discord message?
The reaction must be on a message that references the Linear issue. You could also ask Notis to watch for threaded replies or specific keywords to find the issue.
