Turn Chat into Tracked Work Instantly
Someone has an idea in Slack. Instead of creating a ticket manually, they ask Notis, and a Linear issue appears. No friction, no forgotten ideas.
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
Ideas flow in chat but don't make it into Linear. Neurodivergent teams get distracted when they have to leave their communication tool to create tickets. Many ideas slip through the cracks.
- Capture ideas without leaving Slack or email
- Reduced friction increases idea capture
- No manual ticket creation needed
- Ideas become tracked work immediately
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear to Notis.
- 2Set up the webhook trigger in Notis: configure an HTTP endpoint that Notis monitors.
- 3Tell Notis 'When someone sends a message to you asking to create an issue, create it in Linear.'
- 4Share your Notis webhook URL with your team in Slack or your chat tool.
- 5Test by asking Notis in chat 'Create a Linear issue: idea for new feature' and watch it appear in Linear.
Questions about this workflow
Where do I send the webhook request from?
You can use Slack slash commands, email messages to Notis, or any tool that supports webhooks. Notis will listen and create the issue.
Can I include details in the message that become the issue?
Yes. Tell Notis 'When someone writes to you, use their message as the issue title and description' and it will parse the content.
Can I assign the issue or set priority from the chat message?
Definitely. Say something like 'Create a Linear issue with priority high' in your message and Notis will apply those properties.

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.
