Automatically close Linear tasks when meetings are cancelled
Keep your project clean. When you cancel a calendar event, Notis immediately archives the corresponding task in Linear, preventing wasted energy on meetings that won't happen.
Trigger
Event Canceled or Deleted
Triggers when a Google Calendar event is cancelled or deleted. Returns minimal data: event_id, summary (if available), and cancellation timestamp.
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
Cancelled meetings often leave orphaned tasks in your project tracker. Team members waste time preparing for meetings that have been dropped, or confusion reigns about whether the meeting is still on.
- Automatically clean up tasks when meetings are cancelled
- Prevent your team from preparing for non-existent meetings
- Maintain an accurate project backlog
- Reduce confusion about what's still happening
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Calendar and Linear to Notis.
- 2Create an automation named 'Cancel Meeting, Close Task'.
- 3Write your prompt: 'When I cancel a Google Calendar event, archive the related Linear issue.'
- 4Select 'Event Canceled or Deleted' as your trigger and pick your notification channel.
- 5Test by cancelling a calendar event and verify the corresponding Linear task is archived.
Questions about this workflow
What if I want to delete a task instead of archiving?
Notis uses Linear's standard deletion workflow, which is archiving. This preserves the history and lets you recover if needed.
Does this work for all calendar cancellations or just specific ones?
You can make it specific in your prompt: 'only archive tasks when I cancel work meetings' or 'skip personal events.' Notis filters based on your instructions.
What if I want to keep the task but update it?
You can adjust your prompt to 'mark the task as cancelled but keep it' or 'add a comment explaining the cancellation' instead of archiving.
