Keep Linear follow-up timing current
Let changed plans update the related task, so a missed calendar shift does not become a missed follow-up.
Trigger
Calendar Event Changes
Triggered when a new calendar event occurs (created, updated, or deleted) in the Outlook calendar.
Action
Update issue
Updates an existing linear issue using its `issue id`; requires at least one other attribute for modification, and all provided entity ids (for state, assignee, labels, etc.) must be valid.
Why this helps
A task's timing can drift out of sync when a call moves or gets rescheduled.
- Keep follow-up timing connected to real plans.
- Reduce manual date corrections.
- Make schedule changes easier to act on.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Outlook and Linear to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation through the portal or by asking Notis conversationally.
- 3Give one instruction to find the related Linear follow-up issue after an event changes and update its timing when the relationship is clear.
- 4Choose Calendar Event Changes and a channel for run reports.
- 5Test by rescheduling an event linked to a follow-up issue.
Questions about this workflow
Can the automation avoid changing unrelated issues?
Ask Notis to update only a confidently matched follow-up issue.
What if an event is canceled?
Describe how the cancellation should change the related issue in the instruction.
