Clean Calendar: Auto-Remove Completed Issue Events
The moment an issue is done in Linear, its calendar event vanishes. Your calendar stays lean and reflects only active work.
Trigger
Public Team Issue Properties Updated
Fires when properties on a *public-team* Linear issue change (status, assignee, priority, labels, etc.). For private teams (lock icon in Linear's sidebar) use `LINEAR_PRIVATE_TEAM_ISSUE_PROPERTIES_UPDATED`.
Action
Delete event
Deletes a specified event by `event id` from a google calendar (`calendar id`); this action is idempotent and raises a 404 error if the event is not found.
Why this helps
Completed issues leave orphaned calendar events behind, making your calendar cluttered and unreliable as a source of truth for active work.
- Maintains an accurate calendar that reflects only active work
- Reduces calendar clutter and decision fatigue
- Pairs with issue-to-calendar automations to maintain a clean lifecycle
- Supports focus by removing visual noise of completed tasks
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and Google Calendar to Notis.
- 2Create an automation: 'Clean Calendar for Closed Issues'.
- 3Set the prompt: 'When a Linear issue is marked done or archived, find and delete the corresponding calendar event.'
- 4Select trigger: 'Public Team Issue Properties Updated'.
- 5Choose your notification channel.
- 6Test by closing a Linear issue that has a corresponding calendar event—it should disappear from your calendar.
Questions about this workflow
How does Notis know which calendar event to delete?
Notis matches by event title or a unique identifier embedded when the event was created. If you have multiple events with the same title, you may want to refine the automation prompt.
What if I manually delete the calendar event first?
Notis won't find anything to delete, and that's fine—no error occurs. It's safe to manually manage your calendar.
Can I archive issues instead of deleting them?
Yes. You can set your automation to trigger on 'issue status changed to archived' or 'issue status changed to done'. Notis will handle whichever you choose.
