Deadlines Auto-Configure Your Availability
Set a due date in Linear and your Cal availability automatically adjusts to protect the window before that date. Deadline and schedule move together.
Trigger
Issue Updated Trigger
Triggered when an issue is updated. For example labels are changed, issue status is changed, etc.
Action
Create user schedule in organization
Creates a new schedule defining a user's availability with weekly slots and date-specific overrides in an organization; setting 'isdefault' to true may replace an existing default schedule for the user.
Why this helps
You set a deadline in Linear but forget to adjust Cal availability. The deadline arrives and you're already over-committed to other meetings.
- Availability adjusts automatically when due dates change, keeping schedule aligned with priorities
- Prevents overcommitting to meetings during crunch windows
- Time blindness isn't a blocker anymore - the system tracks deadline pressure for you
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and Cal integrations
- 2Create the automation: 'When a due date is added or changed on an issue, create an availability window in Cal from today through that deadline'
- 3Specify timezone and any time-of-day preferences
- 4Set the trigger to Linear Issue Updated (filtering for due date changes)
- 5Test by setting or changing a due date on a Linear issue and verify the Cal schedule updates
Questions about this workflow
What if the deadline is already in the past?
Notis will skip creating a window for past dates. It looks forward from now through the deadline.
Can I make the window wider than the deadline itself?
Yes. Tell Notis: 'Create a window starting 3 days before the deadline through the deadline date'.
What happens when I move the deadline?
The old window stays in place (you manually delete it) and a new one is created for the new deadline. Over time you'll clean up the old ones.
