Keep project scope documents in sync with Linear changes
Project scope changes in Linear but the Google Drive scope doc stays stale. This automation watches for changes and updates your scope document in real time, so everyone's reading the same plan.
Trigger
Project Properties Updated
Fires when properties on a Linear project change (status, lead, target date, priority, etc.). Covers projects in both public and private teams — polls with the connected user's token.
Action
Create a File from Text
Creates a new file in google drive from provided text content (up to 10mb), supporting various formats including automatic conversion to google workspace types.
Why this helps
Someone updates the project scope in Linear but forgets to update the scope document in Drive. A week later, a team member is working off an outdated plan. Nobody caught it until the work didn't match expectations.
- Scope documentation stays current without manual sync
- Team reads the same plan as Linear, no drift
- Reduces miscommunication from outdated docs
- Fewer context-switching moments to hunt for the 'real' scope
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and Google Drive.
- 2Ask Notis: 'When a Linear project's lead, target date, priority, or description changes, update the corresponding scope document in Google Drive'
- 3Notis will create or update the document with the new properties.
- 4Test by changing a project's target date or lead in Linear and verify the Drive document updates.
Questions about this workflow
What if the Drive document doesn't exist yet?
Notis creates it automatically on the first change. Future updates go to the same document.
Can I preserve formatting or use a template?
Yes. Ask Notis to use a template as the base and populate dynamic fields (dates, leads, etc.) into the existing template structure.
Does this work if multiple people change the project at the same time?
Yes. Each change triggers an update, and Notis handles concurrent edits gracefully, merging changes into the document.
