Add a Discord reaction when a Linear issue is done
Finished work deserves a small, clear signal, not another wall of text. When a Linear issue moves to done, Notis adds a reaction to its Discord message so the channel sees completion at a glance.
Trigger
Issue Updated Trigger
Triggered when an issue is updated. For example labels are changed, issue status is changed, etc.
Action
Add reaction to message
Adds an emoji reaction from the authenticated user/bot to a specific message in a discord channel; does not return information about existing reactions.
Why this helps
Completed work is invisible in Discord unless someone writes another message, so progress feels like it never lands.
- Signal completion without adding another message
- Give the channel a light, satisfying sense of progress
- Keep the channel calm instead of piling on notifications
- Make finished work visible at a glance
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and Discordbot to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an Automation named Linear done reaction in Discord.
- 3Write the prompt: When a Linear issue is marked done, add a checkmark reaction to its Discord message.
- 4Select the Issue Updated trigger and pick the Discord channel for run reports.
- 5Move a test issue to done and confirm the reaction appears in Discord.
Questions about this workflow
Which message does it react to?
It reacts to the Discord message tracking that issue. Pair it with an issue-to-Discord automation so the message exists.
Can I pick the emoji?
Yes, name the emoji in your instruction and Notis uses it.
What permission is needed?
The Discord bot needs permission to add reactions in the channel.

Issue Created Trigger

Update guild member information
Adds a user (who is not already a member) to a guild using their `access token` (which must have `guilds.join` scope), optionally setting nickname, roles, mute/deaf status, or flags.
Issue Updated Trigger
Triggered when an issue is updated. For example labels are changed, issue status is changed, etc.
Assign role to guild member
Assigns a role to a guild member, provided the bot has 'manage roles' permission in the guild and the role to be assigned is hierarchically lower than the bot's highest role.
Private Team Comment Created
Fires when a new comment is posted on an issue in a private Linear team (polled with the connected user's token).
Add reaction to message

Private Team Issue Created
Fires when a new issue appears in a private Linear team (polled with the connected user's token).
Add or update thread member
Adds a user to a specific, unarchived thread; the user must have access to the thread's parent channel, and for private threads, the bot must already be a member.
Private Team Issue Properties Updated
Fires when properties on an issue change in a private Linear team (polled with the connected user's token).
Modify guild ban settings
Permanently bans a user from a discord guild, optionally deleting their recent messages (specify deletion period in seconds or days, not both).
Project Created
Fires when a new Linear project is created. Covers projects in both public and private teams — polls with the connected user's token, so visibility matches what the connected user can see in Linear.
Bulk ban users in guild with message deletion option
Bans up to 200 users from a discord guild, optionally deleting their recent messages; the bot must have 'ban members' permission in the guild, and this action is irreversible.
Project Properties Updated
Fires when properties on a Linear project change (status, lead, target date, priority, etc.). Covers projects in both public and private teams — polls with the connected user's token.
Bulk delete messages in channel
Atomically bulk deletes messages in a discord channel for moderation or maintenance; deletion may not be instantaneous and messages are unrecoverable.
