Update Linear Issue Status with Telegram Button Clicks
Quick approvals should be frictionless. When your team clicks 'Approve' or 'Done' in a Telegram button, Notis instantly updates the corresponding Linear issue status.
Trigger
Callback Query Received
Triggered when a user taps an inline keyboard button attached to one of your bot's messages.
Action
Update issue
Updates an existing linear issue using its `issue id`; requires at least one other attribute for modification, and all provided entity ids (for state, assignee, labels, etc.) must be valid.
Why this helps
Your team approves work or marks tasks done in conversation but forgets to update Linear. Issues stay in the wrong status and no one knows what's actually completed.
- One-click issue status updates from Telegram keep Linear current
- Team doesn't need to jump into Linear just to update status
- Clear record of approvals and completions in Linear
- Reduced friction for status-based workflows
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Telegram and Linear to Notis.
- 2Tell Notis: 'When someone clicks a button in Telegram (like Approve, Done, or Reject), update the corresponding Linear issue status.'
- 3Define which buttons trigger which status changes (e.g., 'Approve' sets status to 'In Review', 'Done' sets to 'Completed').
- 4Confirm which Linear project and issue types this applies to.
- 5Test by sending a button and clicking it to verify the issue status updates.
Questions about this workflow
Which Linear statuses can be set via button?
Any status in your Linear workflow. You can create buttons for todo, in progress, in review, done, etc.
Can a single button set multiple issue properties?
Yes. A button could set status to 'Done' and priority to 'None' simultaneously.
What if someone clicks a button by accident?
You can ask Notis to add a confirmation step or allow undoing via a second button click.
