Notify Your Private Team Instantly About New Issues

A new issue lands in your private Linear team—but your immediate team members might not see it. Instead of manually messaging everyone, Notis drafts an email with the issue details. They stay in the loop without checking Linear.

Trigger

Private Team Issue Created

Fires when a new issue appears in a private Linear team (polled with the connected user's token).

Action

Create email draft

Creates a gmail email draft, supporting to/cc/bcc, subject, plain/html body (ensure `is html=true` for html), attachments, and threading.

Why this helps

Private team issues are easy to miss because they're not on everyone's radar. Critical internal work gets siloed, and team coordination suffers.

  • Your core team hears about private issues instantly via email
  • Draft includes assignee, priority, and context—no manual summarizing
  • Reduces missed issues and misalignment
  • Team gets real-time insight into what's being worked on

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Linear and Gmail to Notis.
  • 2Create an automation: 'When a new issue is created in my private Linear team, draft an email to my core team with the issue details.'
  • 3Specify which team members should get the email and any filtering (e.g., only high-priority issues).
  • 4Test by creating a new issue in your private team; check that the draft appears in Gmail.
  • 5Enable it—new private team issues now prompt team emails.

Questions about this workflow

What if the issue doesn't need team coordination?

Tell Notis to filter: 'Only draft emails for Urgent priority' or 'Only for issues assigned to [specific team member].' It won't spam drafts for minor internal work.

Can I add comments or context to the draft?

Yes—the draft is yours to edit. Add context, questions, or urgency before sending. Notis just gets the base information there.

Do I have to send every draft?

No. Review each one and decide if it needs external notification. Some issues might stay internal without email.
