Why this helps

Storage fills with PDFs from resolved issues. Manual cleanup is forgotten and becomes overwhelming.

  • Automatically remove PDFs from resolved issues
  • Reduce storage costs by cleaning up old files
  • Maintain organized documentation without manual effort
  • Prevent storage from becoming unmanageable

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Linear and Api2pdf to Notis.
  • 2Ask Notis: 'When a Linear issue is marked as closed or done, delete its associated PDFs.'
  • 3Specify retention policy if needed (e.g., 'keep archived PDFs for 30 days, then delete').
  • 4Choose if this applies to all issues or specific labels/projects.
  • 5Test by closing an issue and verifying its PDFs are deleted.

Questions about this workflow

Will this delete PDFs I want to keep for reference?

You can set exclusions: 'Don't delete PDFs labeled release-archive' or 'Keep PDFs from high-priority issues forever'.

Can I archive PDFs instead of deleting them?

Yes, ask Notis to 'move closed issue PDFs to an archive folder instead of deleting' and it will preserve them.

What if I accidentally deleted a PDF I needed?

Depending on your storage system, files may be recoverable from trash. Consider setting a retention period to be safe.
