Instant WhatsApp Alerts for New Linear Issues
Stay in the loop without checking Linear constantly. When a new issue lands, Notis sends you a message on WhatsApp with the essentials: what needs doing, who created it, and why it matters.
Trigger
Issue Created Trigger
Triggered when a new issue is created.
Action
Send message
Send a text message to a whatsapp number. note: the message will reflect on the recipient's phone number only if they have texted first.
Why this helps
You create a new Linear issue and hours pass before your team realizes it exists. Without checking Linear every few minutes, critical tasks slip through unnoticed.
- Catch new work immediately without opening Linear
- Reduce the cognitive load of monitoring multiple tools
- Keep your team synchronized on what just arrived
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect your Linear and WhatsApp accounts to Notis (one-time setup in the portal).
- 2Create a new automation by telling Notis: 'When a new Linear issue is created, send me a message on WhatsApp with the issue title and description.'
- 3Select 'New Issue Created' as the trigger.
- 4Choose WhatsApp as the channel where Notis reports runs.
- 5Test by creating a test issue in Linear and verify the WhatsApp message arrives.
Questions about this workflow
Will I get a message for every single issue created?
Yes, unless you refine the automation. You can ask Notis to filter by team, project, or assignee—e.g., 'Send me alerts only for issues assigned to me' or 'only for the backend project.'
How quickly does the message arrive?
Usually within a few seconds of the issue being created. Notis checks Linear regularly and pushes the alert to WhatsApp in near real-time.
Can I customize what information appears in the WhatsApp message?
Absolutely. Just tell Notis which details matter—e.g., 'Include the priority, assignee, and a link to the issue' or 'Just the title and who created it.'
