Automatically prioritize Linear tasks when important meetings begin
Keep your team focused when it matters most. As critical meetings start, Notis updates related Linear tasks to mark them urgent, signaling what needs immediate attention.
Trigger
Event Starting Soon
Triggers when a calendar event is within a configured number of minutes from starting. Returns event details, time remaining, attendees, and join links when available.
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
During important meetings or launches, team members often don't know what to prioritize. Manual updates get lost in the noise, and critical tasks slip through the cracks.
- Automatically elevate task priority when critical meetings occur
- Keep your team synchronized without manual slack updates
- Ensure focus during launches or high-stakes moments
- Reduce missed priorities and last-minute scrambles
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Calendar and Linear to Notis.
- 2Create a new automation named 'Mark Tasks Urgent at Meeting Time'.
- 3Describe your workflow: 'When my launch meeting starts in 10 minutes, mark the deployment issue in Linear as urgent.'
- 4Set 'Event Starting Soon' as your trigger and pick your report channel.
- 5Test by scheduling a calendar event 10 minutes from now and watch the Linear task priority update.
Questions about this workflow
Can I set different time windows (5 min, 15 min, 30 min)?
Yes. When you create the automation, just mention the timing in your prompt: 'starting in 15 minutes' or '30 minutes before.' Notis interprets your timing preference.
What if only some meetings should trigger updates?
Use descriptive meeting titles (e.g., 'URGENT: Launch standup') or calendar keywords. Notis only triggers for events matching your automation prompt.
Does this work with recurring meetings?
Yes. Notis tracks recurring calendar events just like one-off meetings and triggers the update each time the meeting approaches.
