Convert Box Tasks into Linear Issues
When a task is created in Box, Notis automatically creates a matching Linear issue so your whole team sees the work in one tracker.
Trigger
New Task Created on File
Triggers when a new task is created on a Box file. This trigger monitors a specific Box file and fires when new tasks are detected.
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
Your team creates tasks in Box but your issue tracker in Linear stays out of sync, forcing you to manually recreate work.
- All work lives in one place—no parallel task lists to maintain
- Automatic conversion means no dropped tasks
- Your team doesn't have to remember to create issues manually
- Reduced cognitive load from managing duplicate task systems
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Box and Linear to Notis.
- 2Create an automation called 'Box tasks create Linear issues.'
- 3Set the prompt to 'When a task is created on [Box file], create a Linear issue with the task description and due date.'
- 4Select 'New Task Created on File' as your trigger.
- 5Choose your team channel for run notifications.
- 6Test by creating a task on a Box file and watching the issue appear in Linear.
Questions about this workflow
What if the task already has an assignee in Box?
Notis will assign the Linear issue to the same person if they're in both systems. If not, you can tell Notis how to map assignees.
Can I set a priority or status when the issue is created?
Yes. Include it in your prompt: 'Mark new issues as high priority and set them to In Progress.' Notis will apply those settings.
Will closed Box tasks close the Linear issues automatically?
You can set that up. Tell Notis 'When a Box task is marked complete, close the Linear issue' and it will stay in sync.
