Delete Cloudinary assets when issues are archived

Stop manually deleting outdated assets in Cloudinary. When a Linear issue gets marked 'archive', Notis automatically removes the associated media.

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

Delete Resources by Tags

Tool to delete cloudinary assets by tag. use when you need to remove all assets associated with a given tag.

Why this helps

Old design issues pile up in Linear, but nobody remembers to clean up the associated assets in Cloudinary, wasting storage and making searches harder.

  • Automatic storage cleanup
  • No orphaned assets left behind
  • Saves storage costs
  • Keeps media library organized and searchable

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Ensure Linear and Cloudinary are connected to Notis.
  • 2Ask Notis 'Delete assets from Cloudinary when a Linear issue is labeled archive' or create automation with Issue Properties Updated trigger.
  • 3Notis will monitor for the 'archive' label and automatically delete matching assets by their tag in Cloudinary.
  • 4Choose your notification channel to confirm when assets are deleted.
  • 5Test by labeling a Linear issue 'archive' and verify assets are removed from Cloudinary within moments.

Questions about this workflow

How does Notis know which assets to delete?

Notis matches assets by the issue ID or a tag you have set up. If your issue is tagged 'design-v1', Notis deletes all assets with that tag.

Is this permanent?

Yes, deleting assets is permanent. Make sure you have backed up any files you want to keep before archiving.

Can I delete assets from private-team issues too?

Yes. Use Private Team Issue Properties Updated trigger instead; the automation works identically.
