Status Synchronization: Full Calendar Event Updates
Issue status changes in Linear fully synchronize to your calendar events, keeping every detail accurate and up-to-date.
Trigger
Public Team Issue Properties Updated
Fires when properties on a *public-team* Linear issue change (status, assignee, priority, labels, etc.). For private teams (lock icon in Linear's sidebar) use `LINEAR_PRIVATE_TEAM_ISSUE_PROPERTIES_UPDATED`.
Action
Update Google event
Updates an existing event by `event id` in a google calendar; this is a full put replacement, so provide all desired fields as unspecified ones may be cleared or reset.
Why this helps
Calendar events become stale as issues progress, creating confusion about what's actually active, blocked, or complete.
- Keeps calendar accurate with current work status
- Reduces confusion about which work is active vs. blocked
- Maintains a reliable source of truth across tools
- Supports status-driven workflows
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and Google Calendar to Notis.
- 2Create an automation: 'Sync Issue Status to Calendar'.
- 3Set the prompt: 'When an issue's status changes, fully update the corresponding calendar event. Update the title to include the new status (e.g., prefix with "[In Progress]"), update the description with current assignee and due date, and mark as all-day or time-blocked based on the status.'
- 4Select trigger: 'Public Team Issue Properties Updated'.
- 5Choose your notification channel.
- 6Test by changing an issue's status in Linear—the calendar event should reflect the change.
Questions about this workflow
Should the calendar event be deleted when status is 'Done'?
You can configure this in your prompt. Many people prefer: 'Move Done issues to an archived calendar' or 'Delete after 7 days in Done status'.
What if manual calendar edits conflict with auto-updates?
Notis will overwrite them based on the Linear status. If you want to preserve manual edits, refine your prompt to skip already-customized events.
Can I use emoji or color codes to indicate status?
Yes. You can customize the event title format: 'Use emoji prefixes like ✅ for Done, 🔄 for In Progress, ⏸️ for Blocked'.
