Post comments to Linear issues from webhooks
Your monitoring system alerts you, your build pipeline reports a test failure, or your AI agent finds an insight - but adding a comment to the Linear issue requires a manual step. Use a webhook to automatically post updates as comments, keeping your team in the loop without interrupting their flow.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create a comment
Creates a new comment on a specified linear issue.
Why this helps
Notifications about work end up in email or Slack, but the core issue in Linear doesn't get updated. Teams miss critical information because updates weren't recorded where they do the work.
- Automatically post updates and alerts as issue comments
- Keep all issue context in one place
- Integrate external systems without manual notification handling
- Enable automated reporting and tracking
- Reduce missed information from scattered notifications
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear to Notis.
- 2Create an automation and tell Notis: 'When a webhook request arrives, find the specified Linear issue and add a comment with the provided text.'
- 3Select 'Webhook Trigger' and Notis generates your unique webhook URL.
- 4Send webhook payloads with issue ID and comment text from your external tool.
- 5Test by triggering a webhook and verifying the comment appears in Linear.
Questions about this workflow
Can I format comments with markdown?
Yes. Linear supports markdown, so include bold, links, and lists in your webhook comments.
Can I include images or attachments in webhook comments?
You can include image URLs and links. For file attachments, use a separate webhook to attach files directly.
What if the issue ID in the webhook is wrong?
Notis skips it or adds the comment to a default issue. You can configure error handling during setup.
Can I tag people in webhook comments?
Yes. Include @name syntax and Notis will mention them in the Linear comment.

Delete issue
Archives an existing linear issue by its id, which is linear's standard way of deleting issues; the operation is idempotent.
