Convert PR reviews into Linear action items
PR reviews often include requests for changes that then live in chat or email. Let Notis automatically create a Linear task each time a review comes in so feedback gets tracked without cognitive load.
Trigger
Pull Request Review Submitted
Triggers when a new review is submitted for a GitHub pull request. Emits an event for each newly submitted review on the monitored pull request, covering all review types: APPROVED, CHANGES_REQUESTED, COMMENTED, and DISMISSED.
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
Review feedback arrives in GitHub but the mental model of 'things I need to do' lives in Linear. Switching between systems to capture what the reviewer said creates friction, and it's easy to miss action items when context-switching becomes painful.
- Review feedback automatically becomes Linear action items
- No need to manually transcribe review comments
- Track review status from your Linear board
- Reduce context-switching between GitHub and Linear
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Linear to Notis (one-time setup).
- 2Create an automation: 'When a pull request gets a review, create a Linear issue tracking the review follow-up.'
- 3Specify the report channel in Notis (Slack, email, etc.).
- 4Choose the trigger: Pull Request Review Submitted.
- 5Test by submitting a review on a test PR and confirm the Linear issue appears.
Questions about this workflow
Will this create a task for every review or just significant ones?
By default, Notis creates a task for every review. You can customize your prompt to filter based on review type (e.g., 'only if changes are requested').
Can the Linear issue include the reviewer's comments?
Yes. Notis can include the review body in the Linear issue description or create comments with the full feedback thread.
What if I want to group multiple reviews into one task?
You can customize the automation to check if a task already exists for that PR before creating a new one, keeping related reviews together.
Can I auto-assign based on who submitted the review?
Yes. Your prompt can specify that Notis assigns the task to whoever submitted the review, or to the PR author, or to a default person.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link GitHub to Linear. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
GitHub triggers
Linear actions
New Workflow Artifact Created
Triggers when a new workflow artifact is created in a GitHub repository. Monitors for newly created GitHub Actions workflow artifacts. Optionally filters by artifact name to restrict monitoring to specific artifacts.
Create linear attachment
Creates a new attachment and associates it with a specific, existing linear issue.
Branch Changed
Triggers when a GitHub branch changes. Monitors a specific branch for: - New commits pushed (head commit SHA changes) - Protection status toggled (branch becomes protected or unprotected) - Protection settings changed, including: required status checks and their enforcement level, admin enforcement, required pull request reviews (dismiss stale reviews, code owner reviews, approving review count, last push approval), required linear history, force push allowance, deletion allowance, conversation resolution, branch locking, and fork syncing.
Create a comment
Creates a new comment on a specified linear issue.
New Branch Created
Triggers when a new branch is created in a GitHub repository. Detects newly created branches. Deleted branches do not fire events.

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.
Check Run Status / Conclusion Changed
Triggers when a specific GitHub check run changes its status or conclusion. Monitors a single check run for changes to: status (queued, in_progress, completed, etc.), conclusion (success, failure, neutral, cancelled, skipped, timed_out, action_required), started_at, and completed_at.
Get create issue default params
Fetches a linear team's default issue estimate and state, useful for pre-filling new issue forms.
Check Suite Status / Conclusion Changed
Triggers when a GitHub check suite changes its status or conclusion for a given ref. Monitors all check suites associated with a git reference (branch, tag, or commit SHA) for changes to status (queued, in_progress, completed, etc.) and conclusion (success, failure, neutral, cancelled, skipped, timed_out, action_required, startup_failure, stale). Optionally filters by GitHub App ID.
Create a label
Creates a new label in linear for a specified team, used to categorize and organize issues.
New Code Scanning Alert Created
Triggers when a new code scanning alert is created in a repository. Fires an event for each newly created code scanning alert detected in the configured repository. Alerts can be filtered by Git reference, scanning tool, state, and severity. The payload includes the alert number, rule details, tool information, state, severity, and the location of the most recent instance.
Delete issue
Archives an existing linear issue by its id, which is linear's standard way of deleting issues; the operation is idempotent.
New Repository Collaborator Added
Triggers when a new collaborator is added to a GitHub repository. Monitors the full list of collaborators on a repository and fires an event for each newly added collaborator. The payload includes the collaborator's GitHub username, account ID, profile URL, avatar URL, permission flags (pull, triage, push, maintain, admin), and assigned role name.
Get all teams
Retrieves all teams from the linear workspace without requiring any parameters.
Commit Event
Triggered when a new commit is pushed to a repository.
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 GitHub and Linear. Any combination from 985+ integrations.
