Stop billing when projects are declined
When a client declines a project or you kill an initiative in Linear, you still have to remember to cancel the Stripe subscription. Notis handles it: issue marked declined, subscription cancels automatically.
Trigger
Issue Updated Trigger
Triggered when an issue is updated. For example labels are changed, issue status is changed, etc.
Action
Cancel subscription
Cancels a customer's active stripe subscription at the end of the current billing period, with options to invoice immediately for metered usage and prorate charges for unused time.
Why this helps
Declined projects linger as active subscriptions in Stripe, burning money until you remember to cancel—a cognitive tax that leads to wasted revenue.
- Subscriptions cancel instantly when projects are declined—no lingering charges
- No manual Stripe navigation to cancel subscriptions
- Billing stops automatically; less money wasted on dead projects
- One clear action (marking as declined) triggers everything else
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and Stripe to Notis.
- 2Create automation: 'When a Linear issue is marked declined or cancelled, cancel the associated subscription in Stripe.'
- 3Tell Notis which Linear statuses indicate a project is truly dead (e.g., 'status=declined' or 'label=cancelled').
- 4Set your notification channel so Notis confirms each subscription cancellation.
- 5Test by marking a Linear issue as declined and verifying the Stripe subscription cancels.
Questions about this workflow
How does Notis know which Stripe subscription to cancel?
Notis links the Linear issue to the subscription via customer name, email, or a subscription ID you include in the issue. That link ensures the right subscription is cancelled.
Can I prorate charges for partial billing periods?
Yes. Tell Notis to cancel with proration enabled, and Stripe will credit unused time back to the customer.
What if I want to pause instead of cancel?
You can configure Notis to mark the subscription as 'paused' (via a custom status in Stripe) instead of fully cancelling. You define what 'declined' means for your workflow.

Private Team Issue Created
Fires when a new issue appears in a private Linear team (polled with the connected user's token).
