Automatically create Linear issues from external webhooks
Never miss an external request. When partners, clients, or external tools send notifications via webhook, Notis instantly creates a Linear issue to track and manage the work.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
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
Requests come from everywhere (email, Slack, client portals, partner systems), and manually creating tracking tasks in Linear is tedious and error-prone. Important requests get lost.
- Automatically track incoming requests from any external tool
- Eliminate manual data entry and copy-paste work
- Keep all work visible in Linear regardless of source
- Reduce the chance of dropped or forgotten requests
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear to Notis.
- 2Create an automation called 'Webhook to Linear Task'.
- 3Write your prompt: 'When you receive a webhook from [external system], create a new Linear issue with the request details.'
- 4Select 'Notis Webhook' as the trigger and copy the webhook URL that Notis generates.
- 5Test by sending a test webhook to Notis and verify the Linear issue appears with correct data.
Questions about this workflow
Which external systems can send webhooks?
Any tool that supports webhooks: form builders, CRM systems, project collaboration platforms, or custom scripts. Notis converts any incoming webhook to a Linear issue.
Can Notis extract specific fields from the webhook?
Yes. Notis is AI-powered and intelligently extracts relevant data from the webhook payload: title, description, priority, assignee, and more.
How do I integrate my specific tool?
Copy the Notis webhook URL and paste it into your external tool's webhook settings. Notis handles the rest. If you need help, ask Notis to guide you through it.
