Sync Assignee Changes from Linear to Notion
Ownership changes in Linear need to show up in Notion. When someone picks up a new issue, Notis updates your Notion database instantly so everyone stays aligned.
Trigger
Public Team Issue Properties Updated
Fires when properties on a *public-team* Linear issue change (status, assignee, priority, labels, etc.). For private teams (lock icon in Linear's sidebar) use `LINEAR_PRIVATE_TEAM_ISSUE_PROPERTIES_UPDATED`.
Action
Update row database
Updates or archives an existing notion database row (page) using its `row id`, allowing modification of its icon, cover, and/or properties; ensure the target page is accessible and property details (names/ids and values) align with the database schema and specified formats.
Why this helps
Issues get reassigned in Linear constantly, but your Notion database stays stale. You miss who owns what, then follow up twice on the same task or let someone else miss their responsibility.
- Notion database reflects real-time ownership changes without manual updates
- Prevents duplicate follow-ups by showing who actually owns each task
- Supports accountability by keeping assignment records current and searchable
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and Notion to Notis in the portal.
- 2Open the Notion database where you track issue ownership.
- 3Ask Notis: 'When a Linear issue is reassigned, update the assignee field in my Notion database.'
- 4Choose 'Issue Properties Updated' as the trigger and select your notification channel.
- 5Test by reassigning an issue in Linear and confirming the Notion entry updates within moments.
Questions about this workflow
What happens if an issue is unassigned?
Notis will update the Notion entry to show 'unassigned' or clear that field, depending on how you configure it.
Does this sync assignee history?
This automation updates the current assignee. To keep a full history of who owned an issue and when, ask Notis to add a changelog comment to your Notion page instead.
Can this sync other property changes too?
Yes. Tell Notis what fields to watch: status, priority, labels, due dates, etc. Each can trigger a Notion update on its own.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Linear to Notion. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Linear triggers
Notion actions
Comment Received Trigger
Triggered when a comment is received.
Add multiple content blocks (bulk, user-friendly)
Efficiently adds multiple standard content blocks to a notion page in a single api call with automatic markdown parsing. the 'content' field in notionrichtext blocks now automatically detects and parses markdown formatting including headers (# ## ###), bold (**text**), italic (*text*), strikethrough (~~text~~), inline code (`code`), links ([text](url)), and more. ideal for bulk content creation, ai agents, and replacing multiple individual add page content calls. supports automatic text formatting, content splitting, and up to 100 blocks per request.
Issue Created Trigger
Triggered when a new issue is created.
Add content to Notion page
Deprecated: appends a single content block to a notion page or a parent block (must be page, toggle, to-do, bulleted/numbered list, callout, or quote); invoke repeatedly to add multiple blocks.
Issue Updated Trigger
Triggered when an issue is updated. For example labels are changed, issue status is changed, etc.
Append complex blocks (advanced, full control)
Appends complex blocks with full notion block structure to a parent block or page. use for advanced scenarios requiring precise control: code blocks, tables, embeds, nested children within blocks, or when working with pre-built notion block objects. requires full notion api block schema - use add multiple page content for simpler content creation.
Private Team Comment Created

Archive Notion Page
Archives (moves to trash) or unarchives (restores from trash) a specified notion page.
Private Team Issue Created
Fires when a new issue appears in a private Linear team (polled with the connected user's token).

Create Notion Database
Creates a new notion database as a subpage under a specified parent page with a defined properties schema; use this action exclusively for creating new databases.
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.

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.

Archives a notion block, page, or database using its id, which sets its 'archived' property to true (like moving to "trash" in the ui) and allows it to be restored later.
