Share Issue Context Directly on WhatsApp
A design issue is created in Linear with a screenshot attached. Notis automatically sends that screenshot to the team WhatsApp group along with the issue title and description. Your team has the full context without opening Linear.
Trigger
Public Team Issue Created
Fires when a new issue is created in a Linear *public* team. For private teams (lock icon in Linear's sidebar) use `LINEAR_PRIVATE_TEAM_ISSUE_CREATED`.
Action
Send media
Send a media message to a whatsapp number. note: the media will be delivered to the recipient only if they have texted first.
Why this helps
Issues with important attachments (screenshots, videos, designs) are created in Linear, but team members don't see the media until they open the app.
- Share issue context directly on WhatsApp without opening Linear
- Reduce context-switching by having media and discussion in one place
- Ensure visual information gets attention immediately
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and WhatsApp to Notis.
- 2Tell Notis: 'When a new issue is created with media attachments, send the media to the relevant team WhatsApp group along with the issue title and description.'
- 3Select 'Issue Created' as your trigger.
- 4Choose your team WhatsApp group as the channel.
- 5Test by creating a Linear issue with an image attachment.
Questions about this workflow
What file types can be shared?
Images (PNG, JPG), videos, PDFs, and other media supported by Linear and WhatsApp. Notis passes them through.
Will this share every issue, or only those with attachments?
Only issues with media attachments trigger the workflow. Issues without attachments are ignored.
Can I filter which issues get shared?
Yes. Ask Notis: 'Only share design and frontend issues' or 'exclude internal-tools project.' Any project or label filter works.
