Consolidate Google Docs Feedback as Linear Issue Comments
Comments on Google Docs get lost. Notis pipes them directly into Linear as issue comments, so all feedback lives where decisions happen.
Trigger
Comment Added (Docs/Sheets/Slides)
Triggers when a new comment is added to Google Docs, Sheets, or Slides.
Action
Create a comment
Creates a new comment on a specified linear issue.
Why this helps
Feedback scattered across Google Docs and Linear creates a fragmented picture. Neurodivergent founders can't reliably synthesize feedback spread across tools, leading to incomplete information and poor decisions.
- All feedback lives in Linear, where decisions happen
- No need to manually copy comments between tools
- Full conversation history in one place
- Easier for teams to synthesize 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, post that comment to the related Linear issue' or use the portal.
- 3Describe the format: 'Include the commenter's name, timestamp, and original comment text.'
- 4Select 'Comment Added' as your trigger.
- 5Pick your notification channel and test by commenting on a tracked document.
Questions about this workflow
Will the original commenter's name appear in Linear?
Yes. Notis will include 'From [Name]: [comment]' so you know who wrote it, even though it's posted by the Notis automation.
What if a comment is edited or deleted in Google Docs?
Notis posts the comment as it is at the moment it detects it. If you edit a Google Docs comment, Notis won't automatically update the Linear comment, but you can manually edit it in Linear.
Can I filter which comments get posted to Linear?
Yes. Tell Notis 'Only post comments that mention @action or include specific keywords' and it will filter automatically.

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.
