Stay in Sync: Private Team Status Updates Your Calendar
As private team issues progress through status changes in Linear, your calendar events update automatically to reflect the current state.
Trigger
Private Team Issue Properties Updated
Fires when properties on an issue change in a private Linear team (polled with the connected user's token).
Action
Patch Event
Updates specified fields of an existing event in a google calendar using patch semantics (array fields like `attendees` are fully replaced if provided); ensure the `calendar id` and `event id` are valid and the user has write access to the calendar.
Why this helps
Calendar events for private team issues become stale when status changes in Linear, creating confusion about what's currently active versus complete.
- Keeps calendar status accurate as work progresses
- Provides real-time visibility into private team work states
- Reduces confusion about which issues are still active
- Supports workflow visibility across teams
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and Google Calendar to Notis.
- 2Create an automation: 'Sync Private Team Status to Calendar'.
- 3Set the prompt: 'When an issue status changes in a private Linear team, update the corresponding calendar event to reflect the new status (e.g., mark as complete if status is Done, move to a different calendar if status is Blocked).'
- 4Select trigger: 'Private Team Issue Properties Updated'.
- 5Choose your notification channel.
- 6Test by changing an issue status in a private team—the calendar event should update to reflect the change.
Questions about this workflow
How should the calendar event reflect different statuses?
You can define this in your prompt. For example: 'Mark as all-day when In Progress, move to a Done calendar when Complete, or add a strikethrough to the title.'
What if I've manually edited the calendar event?
Notis will still update it based on the Linear status. If you want to preserve manual edits, refine your prompt to skip events you've marked differently.
Should this apply to all status changes or just specific ones?
You can filter: 'Only update when moved to Done or Blocked' or 'Update all status changes' depending on your preference.
