Weekly Backlog Review Collected in Notion
Weekly backlog review is hard when you have to gather issues manually. Notis collects your top open issues into Notion each week, so review takes minutes instead of jumping between tools.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Insert row database
Creates a new page (row) in a specified notion database.
Why this helps
Weekly backlog review meetings require context-switching to Linear, pulling up metrics, and manually thinking through priorities. That friction makes the meeting feel burdensome instead of productive.
- Backlog review prep is automated, saving time at the start of each week
- All issues for review are in Notion, ready to discuss without context-switching
- Consistent review process makes prioritization more transparent and fair
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and Notion to Notis.
- 2Create a Notion database or page for backlog reviews.
- 3Tell Notis: 'Every Monday at 9am, collect my top 15 open Linear issues and add them to my backlog review page, sorted by priority.'
- 4Select 'Recurring Weekly' and set the day and time.
- 5Check Notion the following Monday to confirm the backlog review issues are there.
Questions about this workflow
How many issues should be included?
You decide. Notis can pull your top 5, top 10, top 20, or all open issues. Tell Notis your preference.
Can I customize which issues are included?
Yes. Filter by priority, assignee, team, labels, or any other criteria you want to review.
Should I clear out last week's issues before the new ones arrive?
Notis can automatically archive last week's review before adding new issues, keeping your page clean.

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.
