Celebrate Issue Completion in Slack
When a Linear issue is marked 'Done', a confetti emoji lights up the Slack message. It's a small recognition that builds momentum and celebrates progress.
Trigger
Issue Updated Trigger
Triggered when an issue is updated. For example labels are changed, issue status is changed, etc.
Action
Add reaction to message
Adds a specified emoji reaction to an existing message in a slack channel, identified by its timestamp; does not remove or retrieve reactions.
Why this helps
Neurodivergent founders often work in isolation and forget to acknowledge progress. Small celebrations reinforce motivation and team morale.
- Completed work is visually celebrated in Slack
- Small recognition moments reinforce motivation and momentum
- Team sees progress accumulating over time
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Ensure Linear and Slack are connected to Notis.
- 2Tell Notis: 'When a Linear issue is marked done, add a :tada: emoji reaction to the Slack message to celebrate.'
- 3Select 'Issue Updated' as the trigger (which includes status changes to Done).
- 4Choose your Slack channel for run reports.
- 5Mark a Linear issue as Done and watch the celebration emoji appear in Slack.
Questions about this workflow
What if the issue was already closed before Notis was set up?
This automation only triggers on new completions going forward.
Can I use a different celebration emoji?
Of course. Tell Notis which emoji feels right to you (e.g., :rocket:, :star:, or :fire:).
