Edit Once, Update Everywhere
Updated a task description in Discord? Notis syncs it to the related Linear issue automatically, so you never update the same thing twice.
Trigger
Message Edited
Triggered when an existing message in a monitored Discord channel is edited.
Action
Update issue
Updates an existing linear issue using its `issue id`; requires at least one other attribute for modification, and all provided entity ids (for state, assignee, labels, etc.) must be valid.
Why this helps
Task details get updated in Discord but Linear stays stale, creating confusion about what's actually needed or changed.
- No manual copy-pasting of edits to Linear
- Issue descriptions stay current with discussions
- Single source of truth reduces confusion
- Less work for context-switching between tools
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Set up Notis with Discord and Linear account connections.
- 2Create an automation: 'When I edit a message in Discord that references a Linear issue, update that issue's description with the new content.'
- 3Notis will scan edited messages for Linear issue references (like LIN-456) and sync the updated text.
- 4Test by editing a Discord message that mentions a Linear issue and verify the issue updates in seconds.
Questions about this workflow
Does this work for partial edits or only full rewrites?
Notis syncs the full edited message content to the Linear issue. You can also ask Notis to append edit history as comments if you want to track changes.
What if I don't want to sync a specific edit?
You can ask Notis to ignore messages with certain keywords or patterns, or to require a reaction to confirm before syncing an edit.
Does this work backwards (Linear edits to Discord)?
This automation flows Discord to Linear. For Linear-to-Discord sync, you'd need a separate automation watching for Linear issue updates.
