Give temporary image links a clear end date
When work calls for temporary access, use the deadline in the issue to create an Imgix URL that stops serving afterward.
Trigger
Issue Updated Trigger
Triggered when an issue is updated. For example labels are changed, issue status is changed, etc.
Action
Imgix URL Expiration
Tool to append an expiration parameter to an Imgix URL so it returns 404 after a given time. Use when you want the image URL to stop serving beyond a specific UNIX timestamp.
Why this helps
Temporary image shares can remain accessible because nobody remembers to revoke or replace them.
- Makes a stated expiry part of the image handoff.
- Reduces reliance on remembering to clean up links.
- Keeps the deadline and related issue together.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and Imgix to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis conversationally.
- 3Tell Notis to recognize temporary-sharing requests and use the deadline in the issue when asking Imgix to expire the image URL.
- 4Select Linear Issue Updated and a run-report channel, then test with one issue containing an image URL and a clear expiry time.
