Auto-Archive Linear Issues When Salesforce Records are Deleted
Your team shouldn't have to manually clean up Linear when a Salesforce record is archived. Notis does it automatically so your workspace stays current.
Trigger
Record Updated (Generic SObject)
Triggers when monitored fields change on any Salesforce SObject. You specify the SObject type and which field values should be returned in the payload. The trigger uses SystemModstamp to detect changes regardless of which specific field changed.
Action
Delete issue
Archives an existing linear issue by its id, which is linear's standard way of deleting issues; the operation is idempotent.
Why this helps
When a record is marked duplicate or lost in Salesforce, you still see stale Linear issues cluttering your workflow. Nobody remembers to go back and archive them, and they pile up over time.
- Your Linear workspace stays clean without manual archival work
- No more stale issues clouding your active work
- Automatic alignment between Salesforce's source of truth and Linear's workflow state
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Salesforce and Linear to Notis.
- 2Tell Notis: 'When a record is marked archived, inactive, or deleted in Salesforce, archive or remove the related Linear issue.' Specify which record types and Salesforce fields to monitor.
- 3Select 'Record Updated (Generic SObject)' as your trigger.
- 4Choose your notification channel.
- 5Test by marking a Salesforce record as archived and watching its Linear issue disappear from your active view.
Questions about this workflow
How does Notis know which Linear issue matches which Salesforce record?
You define the relationship in your prompt. E.g., 'Match by Salesforce record ID or by issue title containing the account name.' Your automation, your logic.
Does archiving the Linear issue delete it permanently?
No. Archiving is Linear's standard way of soft-deleting. The issue is hidden from active view but still searchable and restorable if needed.
Can I selectively archive only certain types of records?
Yes. Tell Notis: 'Only archive if the Salesforce record was marked lost' or 'Skip if it's an enterprise account.' Your conditions, your workflow.
