Tag Issues with a Single Reaction
Organizing issues in Linear feels like a chore. React with a simple emoji in Discord and Notis creates the perfect label, keeping your Linear backlog tagged and sortable.
Trigger
Message Reaction Added
Triggered when a reaction (emoji) is added to a message in a monitored Discord channel.
Action
Create a label
Creates a new label in linear for a specified team, used to categorize and organize issues.
Why this helps
Issues in Linear lack consistent labeling, making it hard to filter and prioritize; labeling manually requires context-switching.
- Organize issues with emoji reactions instead of clicking through Linear
- Consistent labeling without manual effort
- Filter and prioritize issues by auto-applied labels
- Reduce friction in your team's workflow
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Notis to your Discord and Linear accounts.
- 2Create an automation: 'When someone reacts with a bug emoji on a Discord message about a Linear issue, create a Bug label (if it doesn't exist) and apply it to that issue.'
- 3Map your emoji set to label names (e.g., bug = Bug, star = Nice-to-have, fire = Urgent).
- 4Test by reacting to a Discord message with your chosen emoji and verify the label appears on the related Linear issue.
Questions about this workflow
Can I create multiple labels with different emoji?
Yes, each emoji can trigger a different label. You can even combine labels if someone reacts with multiple emoji.
What if the label doesn't exist in Linear yet?
Notis creates missing labels on the fly, so you don't need to pre-configure them. Just start reacting with emoji and Notis builds your label system.
Can emoji reactions remove labels too?
Yes, you can set up emoji removals to strip labels. For example, removing a checkmark emoji could remove the Done label.
