Weekly Overdue Issues Reminder
Never miss a deadline again. Notis emails you a list of overdue Linear issues every week so you catch slip-ups before they become problems.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
List Linear issues
Lists non-archived linear issues; if project id is not specified, issues from all accessible projects are returned. can also filter by assignee id to get issues assigned to a specific user.
Why this helps
Issues slip past their due dates and you only notice weeks later. Deadlines are invisible until they're way overdue.
- Catches overdue issues before they become critical
- External reminder for accountability
- Reduces deadline slippage
- Clear visibility into what's behind schedule
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear to Notis.
- 2Create an automation: 'Every Monday at 9 AM, send me an email listing all Linear issues that are past their due date.'
- 3Select 'notis_cron' as your trigger with 'Weekly on Monday at 9 AM'.
- 4Notis queries all your issues where due_date < today and emails them.
- 5Review your overdue list and take action to get things back on track.
Questions about this workflow
Can I filter which issues show in the overdue reminder?
Yes. Your automation can exclude closed issues, focus on high priority, or show only issues assigned to you.
Should I extend due dates or actually complete work?
That's up to you. The email is a reminder. You might update due dates, complete work, or reassign to someone else. The point is visibility.
What if I have 50 overdue issues?
Your prompt can limit to top 10 by priority, or split the list into categories. You can also adjust the threshold (e.g., only issues overdue by 3+ days).
