Create Linear issues from incoming webhooks
Your build pipeline fails, your AI assistant detects a problem, or a custom script identifies work - but creating an issue manually is a friction point. Use a webhook to fire an automation that creates a Linear issue instantly, keeping your workflow uninterrupted.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
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
Manual issue creation breaks automation chains. When your CI/CD detects a failure, someone has to stop and manually create an issue in Linear, adding delay and human error.
- Create issues programmatically without manual intervention
- Automate issue creation from CI/CD pipelines, AI agents, or custom tools
- Reduce lag time between problem detection and issue creation
- Enable complex automation chains that span multiple systems
- Keep development work flowing automatically
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear to Notis.
- 2Create an automation and tell Notis: 'When an HTTP request arrives at my webhook, extract the title and description and create a new Linear issue with those details. Set priority to high if provided.'
- 3Select 'Webhook Trigger' and Notis will generate a unique webhook URL.
- 4Copy that URL into your CI/CD system, AI agent configuration, or custom script.
- 5Test by sending a webhook request and verifying a Linear issue is created instantly.
Questions about this workflow
Can I send custom fields in the webhook request?
Yes. Send title, description, priority, assignee, labels, or anything else in your webhook payload and tell Notis how to map them.
What format should the webhook be?
Notis accepts JSON POST requests. Send a simple payload with title and description, or include complex fields for advanced automation.
Can multiple webhooks trigger the same automation?
Yes. One automation can receive from multiple sources - your build pipeline, AI agent, custom script, etc.
Is the webhook URL secret or should I protect it?
Yes, treat it like an API key. Notis webhooks are unique and private to your automation, so only share it with trusted services.

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.
