Connect Linear Issues to Salesforce Opportunities

When engineering creates a new issue in Linear, it instantly appears as an opportunity in Salesforce. No more sales missing what the team is building.

Create opportunity

Creates a new opportunity in salesforce with the specified information.

Why this helps

Sales misses opportunities because engineering decisions live in Linear while Salesforce stays stale. Manual syncing creates bottlenecks and dropped context.

  • Sales stays synchronized with engineering roadmap in real-time
  • Opportunities never get lost due to context switching
  • Engineering and sales operate from a single source of truth
  • Revenue visibility improves immediately

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect your Linear and Salesforce integrations to Notis via the portal (one-time setup).
  • 2Create a new automation by opening Notis in your portal or telling it: "Create an automation that syncs new Linear issues to Salesforce opportunities."
  • 3Notis will ask you to confirm: when a new issue is created in Linear, create a matching opportunity in Salesforce. Select your notification channel (email, Slack, etc.).
  • 4Test by creating a sample issue in Linear—you'll see a new opportunity appear in Salesforce within seconds.

Questions about this workflow

Will this sync old Linear issues or just new ones?

This automation triggers only on new issues created after you enable it. For existing issues, you can ask Notis to run a one-time sync.

Can I control which issues get synced?

Yes. Describe your preference to Notis—for example, 'sync only high-priority issues' or 'sync only issues in the product team'—and Notis will apply that filter automatically.

What if the issue description is very long?

Salesforce captures the full description. Notis intelligently truncates if needed and includes a link back to the Linear issue for full context.
