Announce New Projects to Your Team Instantly
A new project lands in Linear, but your team doesn't know about it yet. They find out days later or not at all. Notis sends an announcement email immediately, so everyone starts aligned.
Trigger
Project Created
Fires when a new Linear project is created. Covers projects in both public and private teams — polls with the connected user's token, so visibility matches what the connected user can see in Linear.
Action
Send Email
Sends an email via gmail api using the authenticated user's google profile display name, requiring `is html=true` if the body contains html and valid `s3key`, `mimetype`, `name` for any attachment.
Why this helps
Project visibility is haphazard. Important initiatives get siloed, and team members feel left out. Context debt builds fast.
- Team hears about new projects as they're created, not weeks later
- Announcement includes project lead, timeline, and goals—full context
- Everyone starts with alignment instead of confusion
- Reduces 'why wasn't I told about this' friction
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and Gmail to Notis.
- 2Create an automation: 'When a new project is created in Linear, send an announcement email to my team with the project name, lead, timeline, and goals.'
- 3Specify who gets the email (whole team, specific departments, stakeholders).
- 4Test by creating a new project in Linear; check that the announcement email sends.
- 5Enable it—new projects now get instant team visibility.
Questions about this workflow
What if I create a project that's not ready to announce yet?
Tell Notis: 'Only announce projects with status Public' or 'Only announce projects in [specific team].' Filter by readiness.
Can I customize the announcement template?
Yes. Tell Notis what to highlight: 'Include lead, deadline, and key goals' or 'Add a link to the project briefing doc.' It adapts.
Do I have to send an email for every new project?
You set the rule. You can say 'Only announce High-priority projects' or 'Announce all projects' depending on your workflow.
