Kick off Linear work when a Jira project is born

A new Jira project can sit for days before anyone gives engineering a starting point. Notis creates a kickoff issue in Linear the moment the project appears, so the work has a home before momentum fades.

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

New initiatives often stall in the gap between being greenlit in Jira and becoming actual, trackable work in Linear.

  • Every new Jira project gets an immediate first step in Linear.
  • Engineering starts with a concrete issue instead of a vague heads-up.
  • The gap between greenlight and real work shrinks to zero.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Jira and Linear to Notis once from the portal.
  • 2Open your portal link from Notis and create a New Automation, or just ask Notis in plain language.
  • 3Describe the outcome, for example: When a new Jira project is created, open a kickoff issue in Linear for it.
  • 4Select the Jira New Project event as the trigger.
  • 5Choose a report channel and test by creating one real Jira project.

Questions about this workflow

What goes in the kickoff issue?

Whatever you describe in your instruction. Tell Notis the title and starter checklist you want and it will fill the issue accordingly.

Does it fire for every new Jira project?

Yes, the trigger reacts to any new project added in Jira. You can narrow the behavior in your plain-language prompt if needed.
