Drop the blocked label in Linear when work frees up
A blocked label that outlives the block is a false alarm that makes your whole board harder to trust. Notis removes the blocked label from the Linear issue when Jira shows it is unblocked, so ready work stops looking stuck.
Trigger
Updated Issue
Fires when an existing issue is changed in the Jira project you configure — for example its status, assignee, or any other field on the issue is updated. Only issues in that project produce an event. It does not fire on comment activity: adding, editing, or deleting a comment on an issue will not produce an event from this trigger.
Action
Remove label from Linear issue
Removes a specified label from an existing linear issue using their ids; successful even if the label isn't on the issue.
Why this helps
Stale blocked labels quietly pile up, and soon your board is full of warnings that no longer mean anything.
- The blocked label leaves Linear the moment Jira shows the work is free.
- Your board stops crying wolf, so real blockers stand out again.
- Ready work becomes visibly ready without manual relabeling.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Jira and Linear to Notis once from the portal.
- 2Open your portal link from Notis and create a New Automation, or ask Notis in plain language.
- 3Describe it in one line, for example: When a Jira issue becomes unblocked, remove the blocked label from the matching Linear issue.
- 4Select the Jira Updated Issue event as the trigger.
- 5Choose a report channel and test by unblocking one real Jira issue.
Questions about this workflow
What if the label was never on the issue?
The remove-label action succeeds even if the label was not present, so a stray run causes no error.
Can I use a different label name?
Yes. Name whichever label represents blocked in your instruction and Notis targets that one.
