Retrieve Linear Issue Data On Demand
Your chatbot, integration, or custom tool needs Linear issue details. Send Notis a webhook request with the issue id and Notis returns the full issue data.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Get Linear issue
Retrieves an existing linear issue's comprehensive details, including title, description, attachments, and comments.
Why this helps
External systems need to read data from Linear but lack direct API access. Neurodivergent teams set up manual workarounds, duplicating data and creating sync errors.
- Retrieve issue data from anywhere
- Bridges external tools to Linear data
- No custom API code needed
- Supports many integration patterns
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear to Notis.
- 2Set up a webhook trigger to receive requests with an issue id.
- 3Tell Notis 'When you receive a webhook with an issue id, fetch that issue from Linear and return its details.'
- 4Share your Notis webhook URL with the tool or system that needs to read issue data.
- 5Test by sending a webhook request with a known issue id and confirm the data is returned.
Questions about this workflow
How do I send the issue id to Notis?
Include it in the webhook payload as a JSON field like {issue_id: 123} or as a URL parameter. Notis will extract it and use it to fetch the issue.
What fields are returned?
All issue data: title, description, state, assignee, labels, attachments, comments, and custom fields. Notis can filter to specific fields if you want a smaller response.
Can I format the response for my specific tool?
Yes. Tell Notis 'return only the title and assignee' or 'format it as XML for my tool' and it will adapt the response.

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.
