Automatically Label Issues Based on Google Docs Feedback
Comments arrive in Google Docs, and Notis instantly labels the related Linear issue so feedback is categorized and organized without manual work.
Trigger
Comment Added (Docs/Sheets/Slides)
Triggers when a new comment is added to Google Docs, Sheets, or Slides.
Action
Create a label
Creates a new label in linear for a specified team, used to categorize and organize issues.
Why this helps
Feedback gets added to Google Docs, but Linear issues remain untagged. Neurodivergent teams can't filter or organize by feedback type, making it hard to prioritize what to act on first.
- Issues are automatically organized by feedback type
- Easier to filter and prioritize work
- No manual labeling overhead
- Keeps issue metadata current with feedback
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Drive and Linear to Notis.
- 2Tell Notis 'When someone comments on a Google Doc, add a label to the related Linear issue' or set this up in the portal.
- 3Describe the logic: 'If the comment says urgent or critical, add the urgent label. If it mentions a specific team, add that team's label.'
- 4Select 'Comment Added' as your trigger.
- 5Choose your notification channel and test by adding a comment with keywords like 'urgent' or a team name.
Questions about this workflow
How does Notis know which issue to label?
Notis matches the Google Doc to a Linear issue if you've already linked them or if the document title matches the issue title. You can also ask Notis 'find the issue that mentions this project.'
Can I use smart labeling based on keywords in the comment?
Yes, exactly. Tell Notis 'If a comment includes bug, add the bug label; if it says feature request, add feature-request' and it will apply labels based on keywords.
What if a comment mentions multiple labels?
Notis will add all matching labels to the issue. If a comment says 'this is a critical bug,' it can apply both 'critical' and 'bug' labels.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Google Drive to Linear. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Google Drive triggers
Linear actions
Comment Added (Docs/Sheets/Slides)
Triggers when a new comment is added to Google Docs, Sheets, or Slides.
Create linear attachment
Creates a new attachment and associates it with a specific, existing linear issue.
File Created
Triggers when a new file is created in Google Drive.
Create a comment
Creates a new comment on a specified linear issue.
File Deleted or Trashed
Triggers when a file is moved to trash or permanently deleted in Drive.
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.
File Shared (Permissions Added)
Triggers when new sharing permissions are granted to a file or folder. Uses Drive's `changes.list` endpoint with inline `permissions` in the `fields` mask so each change carries the file's current permission set provider-atomically. We diff that against `seen_permission_keys` to identify newly added grants. Drive page tokens are the primary cursor; if Drive rejects a stored token, the trigger raises `PollingTriggerError` without clearing state rather than silently re-baselining and dropping events. Limitation: truly ephemeral permissions (added and revoked between two polls without any other file modification in between) are not detected. Drive Activity API would catch those but requires an additional OAuth scope and a different payload contract.
Get create issue default params
Fetches a linear team's default issue estimate and state, useful for pre-filling new issue forms.
File Updated
Triggers when a file's metadata or content changes in Google Drive.
Create a label
Creates a new label in linear for a specified team, used to categorize and organize issues.
Google Drive Changes
Triggers when changes are detected in a Google Drive.
Delete issue
Archives an existing linear issue by its id, which is linear's standard way of deleting issues; the operation is idempotent.
New File Matching Query
Triggers when a new Google Drive file matches a provided query. This is the legacy query-centric trigger: it preserves Drive API query config such as ``corpora`` / ``driveId`` aliases and emits the historical ``file_matching_query`` event type. ``FileCreatedTrigger`` covers the broader "new file" case and emits ``file_created``.
Get all teams
Retrieves all teams from the linear workspace without requiring any parameters.
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 Google Drive and Linear. Any combination from 985+ integrations.
