Clear cancelled lookups from research collections
When a tracked lookup is cancelled, remove that one request so it does not remain in the batch queue.
Trigger
Issue Updated Trigger
Triggered when an issue is updated. For example labels are changed, issue status is changed, etc.
Action
Delete Single Request
Tool to remove a specific request from a collection. Use when you need to delete one request by ID.
Why this helps
Cancelled work left in a queue creates clutter and can keep drawing attention after the decision is made.
- Removes an explicitly cancelled lookup from its collection.
- Keeps queued work closer to the current research plan.
- Reduces reminders to revisit a request that is no longer needed.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and Countdown api to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis conversationally to remove a request when its issue is explicitly cancelled.
- 3Use one plain-language instruction that asks Notis to identify the exact request and collection from the issue context before deleting that single request.
- 4Pick the Linear Issue Updated trigger and choose a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with a real cancelled lookup and verify the intended request is the one removed.
Questions about this workflow
Does it clear every request in the collection?
No. This action removes one specific request by ID.
Can it remove a request when the issue just changes priority?
The instruction should limit removal to an explicit cancellation, not ordinary issue updates.
