Status Updates in a Single Reaction
Stop alt-tabbing to Linear to update issue status. React with an emoji in Discord to mark issues as done, in progress, or blocked—Notis syncs it instantly.
Trigger
Message Reaction Added
Triggered when a reaction (emoji) is added to a message in a monitored Discord channel.
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
Updating issue status requires context-switching to Linear; emoji reactions are faster but don't sync anywhere, leaving statuses out of sync.
- Update issue status without leaving Discord
- Keep Linear always current with minimal friction
- Use familiar emoji reactions everyone understands
- Reduce status-sync overhead for fast-moving teams
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Notis to your Discord and Linear accounts.
- 2Create an automation that says: 'When someone reacts with a checkmark emoji on a message about a Linear issue, mark that issue as Done.'
- 3Define which emoji map to which Linear states or fields (e.g., checkmark = Done, red circle = Blocked).
- 4Test by finding a Discord message linked to a Linear issue, reacting with your chosen emoji, and watching Notis update the issue.
Questions about this workflow
How does Notis know which Linear issue to update?
The Discord message must reference a Linear issue link or ID (e.g., 'LIN-123'). Notis scans the message for Linear context and updates that issue.
Can I use different emojis for different updates?
Absolutely. Define your own emoji-to-status mapping. For example, checkmark = Done, hourglass = In Progress, fire = High Priority.
What if I react by mistake?
Notis watches for emoji additions; removing the reaction can trigger an undo. You can also ask Notis to require confirmation before updating critical fields.
