Archive completed Linear issues to Google Drive
Completed issues disappear in Linear's back pages. This automation copies them to a Google Drive archive the moment they're marked Done, so you build a permanent, searchable record of everything your team shipped.
Trigger
Issue Updated Trigger
Triggered when an issue is updated. For example labels are changed, issue status is changed, etc.
Action
Copy file
Duplicates an existing file in google drive, identified by its `file id`.
Why this helps
You finished an issue three months ago and need to remember how you solved it, but scrolling back through Linear is a nightmare. The work is there but it's buried and takes forever to find.
- Complete history of finished work, easily searchable
- Reference solutions from past issues without Linear digging
- New team members learn from completed work in one place
- Reduced cognitive load of hunting for past solutions
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and Google Drive.
- 2Ask Notis: 'When a Linear issue status changes to Done, copy it to my Completed Work archive in Google Drive with all comments and metadata'
- 3Notis will create copies in the archive folder.
- 4Test by marking a Linear issue as Done and verifying it appears in your Drive archive within seconds.
Questions about this workflow
Does the Drive copy stay synced with Linear?
It's a snapshot at the time of completion. If you need to reference the issue later and it changes, you have the archive version as a record of what was true when it shipped.
Can I organize the archive by project or team?
Yes. Ask Notis to create separate archive folders per project or organize by date. The structure is yours to customize.
Should I include closed issues that weren't actually done?
You can ask Notis to filter for only issues with a 'Done' label or specific status. 'Cancelled' or 'Duplicate' issues can be archived separately if needed.
