Notis

Clear retired Trello work from Linear

When a card is archived as finished or no longer needed, Notis can archive its matching Linear issue too.

Trigger

Card Archived Trigger

Triggered when a card is archived in the specified board

Action

Delete issue

Archives an existing linear issue by its id, which is linear's standard way of deleting issues; the operation is idempotent.

Why this helps

Retired requests can linger in the engineering queue and make active priorities harder to scan.

  • Keep the active Linear queue easier to scan.
  • Avoid manually hunting down completed or dropped work.
  • Align archived work across planning and delivery tools.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Trello and Linear to Notis once through the portal.
  • 2Create an automation and clearly describe which archived cards mean the related issue should be archived.
  • 3Select the Trello Card Archived trigger and choose a channel for run reports.
  • 4Test with one real card and matching issue that is safe to archive.

Questions about this workflow

Should every archived card archive its issue?

Only describe this action if archiving a card consistently means the work should leave Linear's active queue.

Can an archived issue be recovered?

Linear uses issue archiving as its standard delete behavior; verify the intended card-to-issue match before enabling the workflow.
