End Blocked Issues--Schedule Resolution Meetings Automatically
Blocked issues sit in Linear for days while founder forgets they exist. Notis watches for issues marked blocked and instantly creates a focused resolution meeting--unblock work before momentum dies.
Trigger
Public Team Issue Properties Updated
Fires when properties on a *public-team* Linear issue change (status, assignee, priority, labels, etc.). For private teams (lock icon in Linear's sidebar) use `LINEAR_PRIVATE_TEAM_ISSUE_PROPERTIES_UPDATED`.
Action
Create One-Off Event Type
Creates a temporary calendly one-off event type for unique meetings outside regular availability, requiring valid host/co-host uris, a future date/range for `date setting`, and a positive `duration`.
Why this helps
Issues go blocked but nobody schedules time to unblock them. Work stalls. Founder remembers days later. Dependencies slip.
- Blocked issues get immediate response instead of drifting for days
- Creates accountability for removing blockers quickly
- Prevents cascading delays from small blockers
- Reduces time issues spend in blocked state
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and Calendly to Notis.
- 2Create an automation: 'When an issue status changes to blocked, schedule a 30-minute resolution meeting.'
- 3Select 'Issue Updated' (tracking status changes) as the trigger.
- 4Test by changing an issue status to blocked and confirming the meeting block appears.
Questions about this workflow
Should this invite the assignee or just block my time?
By default it blocks founder time. Add 'and invite the issue assignee' to your instruction if you want them included.
What happens if the blocker gets removed before the meeting?
Manually delete the calendar event. Future versions of Notis may auto-cancel when status changes back.
