Why this helps
Neurodivergent founders often miss new work because they're focused on their current task and forget to check Linear. By the time they remember, the issue has context they don't have.
- New issues appear in Slack without manual checking
- Catch urgent work before context is lost
- Reduce cognitive load of juggling two apps
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and Slack to Notis via the portal (one-time setup).
- 2Create a new automation and tell Notis: 'When a new Linear issue is created, send it to my Slack #work channel as a message with the title and details.'
- 3Pick 'Issue Created' as the trigger from the Linear dropdown.
- 4Choose #work (or your preferred channel) for Notis to post run reports.
- 5Test by creating a new issue in Linear and verify the message appears in Slack.
Questions about this workflow
Will this post every new issue or can I filter?
Notis learns from your prompt. Tell it 'only high-priority issues' or 'only bugs' in your plain-language instruction, and it will filter accordingly.
What if I'm in multiple Linear teams?
Create separate automations for each team, or ask Notis to catch all new issues across all your teams.
