Close the loop when Trello work is done
When the card signals completion, let Notis update the matching issue to the right Linear state.
Trigger
Card Updated Trigger
Triggered when a specific card is updated
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
Finished work can remain in an active state when closing the loop takes another manual tool switch.
- Keep delivery status consistent across tools.
- Reduce stale active issues after work is done.
- Make completed work easier to scan.
