Retire a Shopify product from a closed Linear issue
Deciding to kill a product is the easy part. Actually removing it from Shopify is the part that gets forgotten. Close the Linear issue and Notis clears it from the store for you.
Trigger
Issue Updated Trigger
Triggers when an issue is updated, such as when its labels or status change.
Action
Delete a product
Permanently delete a product and its variants, images, and inventory; this cannot be undone.
Why this helps
You decide to discontinue a product and close the issue, but the listing lingers in Shopify for months because deleting it is a separate task nobody remembers.
- Retired products actually leave the store instead of haunting the catalog for months.
- The decision and the cleanup become one action, so nothing is left half done.
- Your storefront stays honest, with no dead listings customers can still stumble onto.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and Shopify to Notis once from the portal.
- 2Tell Notis: 'When a Linear discontinue issue is marked done, delete the matching product in Shopify.'
- 3Pick the trigger: the Linear 'Issue Updated' event.
- 4Choose the channel where Notis confirms each deletion.
- 5Test with one real discontinue issue and confirm the product is removed.
Questions about this workflow
This is irreversible. Is there a safeguard?
Deleting a product in Shopify cannot be undone, so scope the instruction tightly, for example only issues with a discontinue label moved to done. Notis reports every deletion to your channel.
Can I archive instead of delete?
This workflow deletes. If you prefer archiving behavior, describe that alternative to Notis and it will use the closest available action.
How does Notis find the right product?
It reads the issue in plain language to identify the product, so there is no manual field selection.
