Project Visibility: Auto-Log Status Updates to Calendar
Each project status update in Linear creates a calendar entry, giving you a historical log of project progress visible in your timeline.
Trigger
Project Update Posted
Fires when a project status update is posted on the Linear project's Updates tab. Covers projects in both public and private teams — polls with the connected user's token.
Action
Create Event
Creates an event on a google calendar, needing rfc3339 utc start/end times (end after start) and write access to the calendar. by default, adds the organizer as an attendee unless exclude organizer is set to true.
Why this helps
Project updates posted in Linear are hard to track over time. Founders miss the narrative of project progress because updates aren't timestamped or visible outside Linear.
- Creates a calendar-based timeline of project progress
- Makes project status visible outside Linear for quick reference
- Helps track project narrative and decision history
- Supports retrospectives and project reviews by recording milestones
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and Google Calendar to Notis.
- 2Create an automation: 'Log Project Updates to Calendar'.
- 3Set the prompt: 'When a project status update is posted in Linear, create a calendar event with the update title and a note about the project. Schedule it for today.'
- 4Select trigger: 'Project Update Posted'.
- 5Choose your notification channel.
- 6Test by posting a project status update in Linear—it should appear on your calendar the same day.
Questions about this workflow
Will the full update text be included in the calendar event?
The event title will include the update title, and Notis can add a summary to the event description. For the full text, link back to Linear in the event description.
How far back should I apply this automation?
This automation applies going forward from when you enable it. Past updates won't be retroactively added to your calendar.
Can I create a separate calendar for project updates?
Yes. You can tell Notis in your prompt: 'Add these events to a separate 'Project Updates' calendar' or similar. Notis can create or populate a specific calendar.
