Automate Daily Planning Issues in Linear
Instead of manually creating a daily standup or planning issue, Notis does it automatically at the same time every morning. Each day gets a fresh planning issue linked to your current priorities from Google Sheets.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
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
Creating daily planning or standup issues manually takes a few minutes but adds up to dozens of hours per year of context-switching.
- A new planning issue is created automatically every day at your chosen time
- Reduce the friction of starting your day by having your planning issue ready
- Include data from your Google Sheet in each daily issue for context
- Free up mental energy by removing the 'create today's issue' micro-task
- Build a consistent daily habit without relying on memory
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1In the Notis portal, create an automation with the prompt: 'Every day at [time], create a Linear issue for daily planning with today's date in the title. Include [any data from your sheet you want included].'
- 2Select 'Notis Cron' as your trigger type and set the schedule to 'Daily at [your preferred time].'
- 3Choose your notification channel.
- 4Test by running the automation manually from the portal to confirm the daily issue is created as expected.
Questions about this workflow
What time zone will the daily issue be created in?
Notis uses your account's time zone, which you can set in your portal settings. Specify a different time zone in your prompt if needed.
Can I include data from multiple sheets in the daily issue?
Yes. Describe the data you want in your prompt, e.g., 'Include today's priority tasks from Sheet A and yesterday's completed items from Sheet B.'
What if I don't need a daily issue on weekends?
Specify this in your prompt, e.g., 'Create daily planning issues on weekdays only, Monday through Friday.'
