Sync Issue Status Changes to Notion Database
Your Notion task database gets stale the moment someone changes an issue status in Linear. Notis keeps it fresh by syncing status changes automatically.
Trigger
Issue Updated Trigger
Triggered when an issue is updated. For example labels are changed, issue status is changed, etc.
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
Work progresses in Linear, but your Notion database shows outdated status. You end up seeing 'In Progress' tasks that are actually done, or 'To Do' items that are being worked on, creating confusion about actual state.
- Notion task database always reflects current work status from Linear
- Clear view of what's actually being worked on without manual checking
- Supports accurate planning and reporting by keeping task states current
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and Notion to Notis.
- 2Open the Notion database with your task list.
- 3Ask Notis: 'When a Linear issue status changes, update the status field in my Notion task database.'
- 4Select 'Issue Updated' as your trigger and pick your notification channel.
- 5Test by updating an issue status in Linear and watching the Notion entry update.
Questions about this workflow
Will this update all issues or only certain statuses?
By default, all status changes get synced. To watch only specific statuses (e.g., 'In Progress' to 'Done'), tell Notis your preference.
Can I customize how Notion status values map to Linear values?
Yes. If Linear uses different status names than Notion, Notis can translate between them automatically.
Does this work both ways or only Linear to Notion?
This automation runs only one direction: Linear to Notion. To also update Linear when Notion status changes, set up a separate reverse automation.

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).

Adds a comment to a notion page (via `parent page id`) or to an existing discussion thread (via `discussion id`); cannot create new discussion threads on specific blocks (inline comments).
Private Team Issue Properties Updated
Fires when properties on an issue change 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.
Create Notion page

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.
Delete a block
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.
