Create Notion Database When New Linear Project Starts
New projects in Linear deserve a new home in Notion. Notis creates a fresh database with the right structure so you can start planning immediately.
Trigger
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.
Action
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.
Why this helps
You start a new project in Linear, then scramble to create a matching Notion database, set up columns, and link everything together. That friction slows down project setup and introduces busy-work.
- New projects get immediate Notion workspace without manual database creation
- Structured database reduces setup time and ensures consistent project tracking
- Centralizes project metadata and planning in your external brain from day one
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and Notion to Notis.
- 2Create a template Notion database (or tell Notis what columns you want).
- 3Ask Notis: 'When a new project is created in Linear, create a matching database in Notion with my standard project structure.'
- 4Select 'Project Created' as the trigger and pick your notification channel.
- 5Test by creating a new project in Linear and confirming a new Notion database appears.
Questions about this workflow
Can I customize the database structure?
Yes. Describe your ideal project database (columns for status, due date, team, budget, links, etc.) and Notis will create it with that schema each time.
Will the database be linked to the Linear project?
Notis can add a link to the Linear project in the Notion database properties so you can jump between them easily.
What if I already have a database for this project?
You can set up Notis to check if a database exists before creating a new one, avoiding duplicates.

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
Fires when a new comment is posted on an issue in a private Linear team (polled with the connected user's token).
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 comment
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.
