Bulk-create Linear issues on a schedule
Your team generates 20 new Asana tasks per day, but manually creating 20 Linear issues is impossible. Notis runs multiple times daily, finds all new Asana tasks, and bulk-creates matching Linear issues so your backlog stays synchronized automatically.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Create linear issue
Creates a new issue in a specified linear project and team, requiring a title and description, and allowing for optional properties like assignee, state, priority, cycle, and due date.
Why this helps
High task velocity means manual syncing is impossible. Teams fall behind, sync breaks, and data duplication ensues.
- Handle high task velocity without manual overhead
- Keep Linear backlog in sync even with 50+ new tasks per day
- Scale your automation as your team grows
- Reduce bottleneck of manual issue creation
- Enable teams to move fast without losing sync
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Asana and Linear to Notis.
- 2Create an automation and tell Notis: 'Multiple times per day (e.g., every 2 hours), scan Asana for all new tasks created since last run and bulk-create matching Linear issues for any without a match.'
- 3Select 'Scheduled' trigger and set frequency (hourly, every 2 hours, every 4 hours).
- 4Notis will send summaries of bulk-created issues to your channel.
- 5Test by creating multiple Asana tasks and watching them bulk-create in Linear.
Questions about this workflow
How often should I run this?
It depends on your task velocity. Hourly keeps things tight; every 2-4 hours is good for most teams. Adjust based on your workflow.
What if thousands of tasks are created overnight?
Notis handles bulk creation efficiently. You can set limits like 'Create max 100 per run' to avoid overwhelming Linear.
Can I apply filters to bulk creation?
Yes. Tell Notis 'Only create issues for tasks with the engineering tag' or from specific projects.
Does this slow down Linear or cause rate limits?
Notis handles Linear rate limits intelligently. It spreads requests over time to avoid hitting caps.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Asana to Linear. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Asana triggers
Linear actions
Attachment Added to Task
Triggers when an attachment is added to a task.
Create linear attachment
Creates a new attachment and associates it with a specific, existing linear issue.
New Comment on Task
Triggers when a comment is added to a task in a project.
Create a comment
Creates a new comment on a specified linear issue.
New Task Created
Triggers when a new task is created in a project.
Create linear issue
Creates a new issue in a specified linear project and team, requiring a title and description, and allowing for optional properties like assignee, state, priority, cycle, and due date.
Task Moved to Section
Triggers when a task is moved to a section in a project.
Get create issue default params
Fetches a linear team's default issue estimate and state, useful for pre-filling new issue forms.
Tag Added to Task
Triggers when a tag is added to a task. Note: Asana's event structure is inverted for tag events — the resource is the task and the parent is the tag. So parent.gid gives the tag GID.
Create a label
Creates a new label in linear for a specified team, used to categorize and organize issues.
Task Updated
Triggers when a task is updated in a project.
Delete issue
Archives an existing linear issue by its id, which is linear's standard way of deleting issues; the operation is idempotent.
Get all teams
Retrieves all teams from the linear workspace without requiring any parameters.
Download issue attachments
Downloads a specific attachment from a linear issue; the `file name` must include the correct file extension.
Connect any two apps with Notis in the middle.
Not just Asana and Linear. Any combination from 985+ integrations.
