Remove issue labels with WhatsApp buttons

An issue is resolved but still marked Urgent or In Review. Instead of opening Linear to clean it up, Notis sends a WhatsApp button: 'Remove Urgent label?' Tap it and the label is gone.

Remove label from Linear issue

Removes a specified label from an existing linear issue using their ids; successful even if the label isn't on the issue.

Why this helps

Issues stay tagged with stale labels because cleaning them up requires context-switching to Linear.

  • Remove labels without opening Linear
  • Issue metadata stays current
  • Less mental overhead
  • Faster housekeeping

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect WhatsApp and Linear integrations
  • 2Create: 'Send me a WhatsApp button to remove the Urgent label from issues I'm working on'
  • 3Notis finds your in-progress issues with the Urgent label and sends buttons
  • 4Tap 'Remove' and the label is deleted from the Linear issue
  • 5Issue stays open but cleaned up

Questions about this workflow

Can I remove multiple labels at once?

Yes. Set up buttons for each label: Remove Urgent, Remove Blocked, Remove Waiting. Tap any button to remove that label.

What if I accidentally remove the wrong label?

Notis sends a confirmation message before removing. You can undo if needed, or add the label back manually in Linear.

Can this work for other cleanup tasks?

Yes. Adapt it: 'Remove issues from current cycle if they're Done' or 'Auto-archive resolved issues every Friday.'

Message Status Updated

Triggers when a WhatsApp message status changes. IMPORTANT LIMITATION: WhatsApp Cloud API does not provide a native polling endpoint for message status. Status updates are ONLY delivered via webhooks in real-time. This trigger cannot directly poll the WhatsApp API for status updates. This trigger will return empty results as WhatsApp does not support this operation. To track message status updates, you must: 1. Set up a webhook endpoint to receive status notifications from WhatsApp 2. Store the webhook data in your own database 3. Use a different mechanism to query your stored webhook data For more information, see: - https://developers.facebook.com/docs/whatsapp/cloud-api/webhooks
