  • Reduce clutter in event organization.
  • Avoid a separate reminder to revisit old categories.

  • 1Connect Linear and Expofp to Notis once in the portal.
  • 2Create the automation in the portal or ask Notis conversationally.
  • 3Tell Notis to remove a confirmed obsolete Expofp category when a cleanup issue is created.
