Convert Sent Emails to Linear Issues
Stop manually logging important emails. When you send an email, Notis automatically creates a Linear issue with the email content, keeping your work in one system.
Trigger
Email Sent
Triggers when a Gmail message is sent by the authenticated user. It polls the 'SENT' label and emits metadata including sender, recipients, subject, timestamp, and thread ID.
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
You send important emails but they scatter across different tools. Creating manual issue records feels repetitive, and tracking what you committed to in email chains requires constant context-switching.
- Eliminates manual issue creation from email
- Keeps all communication records centralized in Linear
- Reduces context-switching between Gmail and Linear
- Ensures important emails are tracked and never forgotten
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect your Gmail and Linear accounts to Notis (once per account).
- 2In the Notis portal or via chat, create a new automation with the prompt: 'When I send an email in Gmail, create a Linear issue in my team project with the email content.'
- 3Select 'Email Sent' as your trigger.
- 4Choose your preferred Notis channel for notifications (email, Telegram, WhatsApp).
- 5Test by sending a marked email (e.g., subject with [TRACK]) and verify the Linear issue appears.
Questions about this workflow
Will every email create an issue?
No. You can refine the automation to only trigger on emails with specific subject keywords or sent to certain addresses, reducing noise.
Can I customize what information goes into the Linear issue?
Yes. Your automation prompt can specify which email fields to include (subject, recipients, timestamp) and any default Linear properties like project, team, or priority.
What if I don't want to log every email?
Use subject line markers like [TRACK] or send emails to a specific address. Notis can filter based on these signals.
