Delete a Freshdesk ticket when a Linear issue is marked duplicate
When you close a Linear issue as a duplicate, the ticket it spawned in Freshdesk just sits there as clutter. This automation notices that kind of update and removes the matching Freshdesk ticket, so your queue reflects only the work that is actually real.
Trigger
Issue Updated Trigger
Triggered when an issue is updated. For example labels are changed, issue status is changed, etc.
Action
Delete Ticket
Deletes an existing ticket in freshdesk.
Why this helps
Duplicate and invalid Linear issues leave orphaned Freshdesk tickets that clutter the queue and waste review time.
- Your Freshdesk queue stays free of ticket noise
- Duplicate work cleans up without a manual sweep
- Reviews focus on real tickets, not leftover clutter
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.

- 3Describe it plainly: when a Linear issue is marked duplicate or invalid, delete the matching Freshdesk ticket.
- 4Pick the Linear Issue Updated trigger and choose a channel for run reports.
- 5Mark a test issue as duplicate and confirm the ticket is removed in Freshdesk.
Questions about this workflow
How does it know an issue is a duplicate?
It reads the status or label change. Define what counts as duplicate or invalid in your prompt and Notis follows that.
Could this delete a ticket I wanted to keep?
Notis reports each run to your chosen channel, and you can scope the prompt tightly so only clearly duplicate issues trigger a deletion.
